Hardcoding a new defaultcaps was the easy part and I have no problems
sharing the changes I made. To make a patch I need some more info:
- the questions around ENABLE_EXTRA_CHECKS I raised back in november (nov
16th). I re-read my message and it was actually a question without question
marks ;)
- since this is a sybase only extension, I assume the TDS_REQ_LARGEIDENT
capability request should be set only for recent Sybase servers, based on
the existence of the SYBECAPTYP error. What are the possibilities? 
Add a freetds custom option for dbsetlname? LARGEIDENT (false or true) or,
for the brave hearted but more flexible, CUSTOMCAPS that would simply call
set_capabilities(login, values, TDS_MAX_CAPABILITY)?
- I have only a very limited number of server versions to test with. I'll
need some help there.
