Tom,

1) TinyTDS is just fine with 0.82, you only need 0.91.dev/rc if you want to 
avoid the freetds.conf file and/or use SQL Azure.

2) All the info below is FYI, but honestly you do not need it. The TinyTDS 
project includes Luis' great Miniportile project and you should be able to 
clone the git repo and do the following commands (from memory) and it will 
build a native gem just for you by building FreeTDS within the scope of the 
project and linking it all together for you. You can then gem install from 
that gem in the pkg dir.

        $ bundle install
        $ rake compile
        $ rake native gem

3) The Homebrew questions may be better off on their list. I myself use 
MacPorts and my port file does the following. These should be applied in the 
DSL of Homebrew in some way.

        a) Use 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/current/freetds-current.tgz

        b) If you have to specific checksum, then be prepared to alter it 
when that link above
        is updated. I typically curl that url and pipe it to md5 before 
installing to be sure. 
        Currently 877d8ca47a38775b95cb4e6b4b8bd4bf

        c) My portfile specifies the following deps. libiconv, ncurses, and 
readline. Tho I 
        really only know that libiconv is the most important. I also specify 
a port variant that 
        puts OpenSSL as a dep in. Again, if your not using SQL Azure or need 
SSL connections
        to the db, do not worry about it.

        d) I use the following configure args. I have found that tds ver 8 is 
a run-time backward 
        compatibility with a conf file and is not a valid configure option 
for 0.91.dev/rc. Again this 
        does not include "--with-openssl=${prefix}" if you pull in that 
variant. Note too, that 
        "--enable-msdb" is moot, long story, you do not need it. TinyTDS does 
what it should
        in specifying what it needs from FreeTDS.

                --mandir=${prefix}/share/man \
                --includedir=${prefix}/include/${name} \
                --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc/${name} \
                --with-libiconv-prefix=${prefix} \
                --with-tdsver=7.1

        e) Because my portfile uses the current nightly and always moving 
version number, I have 
        to get detailed with my version "0.92.dev.20110509" and name of my 
distfiles "freetds-current.tgz"
        Be prepared to find some crazy details of Homebrew :)

        f) If you want to see my portfile:
