I'm thinking about this patch.
Well.. for who don't understand diff, automake and Makefiles it remove
libtds.so (or similar library) and only produce static library!
I'm not again a shared object but I think that package will be more
updatable if we do not provide this library. Currently only tds
unittests (as we can note from patch) use libtds.so so only packages
like some strange bindings use it. I think that 99% (or more) use
FreeTDS with PHP, Perl or another project that use ODBC (Oracle, Java
and many others) so I don't think many people will complain. Naturally
this should go on final 0.64. It does not broke binary compatibility
more than a major soname update does...
