I would be happy to help but am very time-constrained of late.  

The easiest thing for me would be if you could modify
src/dblib/unittest/rpc.c to provoke the new datatype from the server.  The
library should complain and leave enough information in the TDSDUMP log to
get started.  Then I'll see if the sybase server I have access to behaves
the same way.  If so, I would think the work to add the new type would be
quick.  

And then, you know, we'd have to update the docs.  ;-)
