As part of my effort to fix bcp loading of BIT datatypes in TDS 5.0, I
thought I'd explore the capabilities of the connection, i.e. the
capability bits in the negotiated login.  I didn't find anything that
seems to shed light on the problem I was after. 

However, I did enumerate the bits and we now have a generalized
capability-setting function in libtds.  (There is one already in ct-lib,
but mine is much smaller.)  

I haven't looked into whether or not this functionality could be used by
ODBC.  I don't find it anywhere in Sybase's db-lib description.
