[freetds] bcp_bind vartype = 0

In Sybase, setting the bcp_bind vartype parameter to 0 tells it not to
perform any conversion on the datatype. With freetds this seems to cause a
failure since it attempts to convert it with dbconvert and doesn't recognize
a source type of 0.

Is this a known and recognized difference or bug? It looks like one way to
handle this is to modify dbconvert to treat a source type of 0 as the same as
the dest type.

I'd appreciate any thoughts and comments on this.
