We're looking at a period of time during which we will be migrating from
Sybase to MSSQL and will need to support both platforms. As you may know
there are a few things that do not work properly with FreeTDS when used
against Sybase, so we'd like to have DBI modules which use the Sybase and
FreeTDS drivers. We do not want to compile DBD::Sybase with FreeTDS.

What I've been asked to do is to port DBD::Sybase to DBD::FreeTDS. It's been
suggested that it might be as easy as taking the DBD::Sybase distro and
s/DBD::Sybase/DBD::FreeTDS/. I suspect that it is somewhat more complicated
and that there may be other issues to deal with in such a port.

I see that someone had started this back in the previous millennium, but that
it was dropped from CPAN due to lack of support.

Though I am loathe to embark on this process, I'm about to get started. I'd
appreciate any input you guys may have that would steer me in the right
direction, make me aware of potential pitfalls, or otherwise clue me in to
the surrounding issues.

Thanks.

Eric
