that just leads to more complaints about members of $(GENERATED_FILES).

find . -name \*.pl in the tarball returns only ./samples/odbctest.pl 
./samples/test.pl,
so it looks like the rules for include\types.h, src\tds\tds_willconvert.h,
src\tds\encodings.h and src\tds\num_limits.h are all bogus.

however, there's another brick wall beyond these files:

NMAKE: fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 
'src\replacements\win32\debug\getopt.obj'

find . -name \*getopt\* finds nothing.
