I guess the next time I introduce a regex dependency, I'll have to use a
better autoconf test!

Do you have GNU awk installed?  txt2man calls 'gawk'.

Not deprecated, specialized.  That option is meant to make FreeTDS
binary-compatible with the Sybase libraries, so that it can be linked
with other binaries not available in source form.  For instance, if you
had an old commercial, proprietary report-writing utility that expected
to be linked with Sybase's db-lib, it would need to see a symbol called
'dbopen'.  Normally, FreeTDS doesn't export that name, because it
conflicts with dbm.  But if you need it, you need it; thus the
'--enable-sybase-compat' option provides it.
