Hello,

A fewdays ago I submitted bth dsp and dsw files to this list. This makes
it possible to use dblib with PHP and other C based programs on Win32.

The PHP extension for MSSQL can now be compiled with the dblib library
from FreeTDS, removing some of the limitations found in Microsofts version
of this library.
