I have the same stuff but this break compatibility. I'm not again this
but if we want to follow Sybase defines (types, constants, structures,
function declarations and so on) we should align everything to this
"standard". Breaking binary compatibility means that if freetds is
updated all dependent libraries must be recompiled. This is the problem
that cause debian to use a old version. If you agree to change
compatibility I would also commit attached patch.
