I leave this to you.  I'm satisfied when you are.

I definitely want to add this before the release.  It's a nice addition,
done correctly.

Best solution is [3] to build fisql without readline if readline is not
available.  I know it's something Nick is interested in seeing happen. 
Time is something else.  

fisql is a good tool to have: 

        1.  Highly functional.
        2.  Works with Sybase db-lib, thus can expose errors in FreeTDS 
db-lib. 

I agree it's getting to be time to release 0.65.  Proababy should call it
0.70; it's a long way from e.g. 0.63.  

Question about locale: do we now default the client charset according to
locale, using freetds.conf as an override?  We should.  Docs need updating
on this point too (note to self).
