Using FreeTDS 0.62.1 and unixODBC 2.2.6, calls to SQLEndTran() may fail 
rather mysteriously, saying the transaction can't be committed.  

unixODBC and FreeTDS both implement SQLTransact(), which is called from 
SQLEndTran().  On some platforms, it is the unixODBC one that is called, and 
this causes the error.  This appears to be a function of how the libraries 
are linked, which is why the ODBC unit tests pass on some platforms and not 
others.   

The attached patch fixes the problem.  It moves the SQLTransact() logic to a 
local static function that is called by both SQLTransact()and SQLEndTran().  

My thanks to Nick Gorham of Easysoft for his help in solving this problem.
