Ah.  Well, you know, the way dbversion() is defined predates the
compile-time version manifest constant.  

0 tdsver.h <global>                    25 #define TDS_VERSION_NO
"freetds v0.92.dev.20120915"

Just change dbversion to refer to TDS_VERSION_NO instead.  I see no
great value in using the CVS keyword expansion, especially now that
we're not using CVS.  ;-)

That's the right fix IMO.  If you supply a patch, I'd gladly apply it.
