I used Visual Studio 6 to compile what i needed (libct for the perl 
DBD::Sybase library.  I needed to apply some very simple patches to 
0.82, which were applied by freddy77, but my compile step was

msdev "$freetds_src_path\\win32\\msvc6\\FreeTDS.dsw" /MAKE 'libct - 
Win32 Release' /OUT

I imagine dblib requires a very similar process.

For the record, freetds on win32 has been very stable for me and happily 
passes 10K application tests including some for stress testing the db 
connection.
