I just recently found out that I have been testing TinyTDS using 
DBVERSION_71/DBVERSION_80 on all my databases versions from 2000-2008 & Azure 
and I decided I needed to try out the DBVERSION_72 since my main focus is on 
2005 and up. I have run into the following issues:

1) I can not configure FreeTDS --with-tdsver="7.2". Is this an oversight?

2) I found out that dbsetversion is basically a no-op that sets a global. 
However, it has not been updated with DBVERSION_72 and was throwing a bunch 
of "FreeTDS: db-lib: exiting because client error handler returned INT_EXIT 
for msgno 20206" which was misleading. Should it be patched like so?

3) Even if I do not use dbsetversion and avoid the problem above and instead 
rely on dbsetlversion(DBVERSION_72), I can not get a connection. The message 
is "TDS version downgraded to 7.1!" and it is driving me nuts. I consistently 
get this error weather I use the TDSVER environment variable, freetds.conf 
setting, etc. Any insight?
