Weeks I would be too optimistic, looking at my recent time schedule
and progresses I hope a couple of months.

It's hard to say actually. It depends on how many change will be
included. The SSL fix require some changes in the configuration
(basically certificate must be registered somewhere as it cannot be
automatically accepted).

I tried to do a "simple" diff from 0.91 and master... well... more
than 400 files changed and dozen of thousands lines. As libTDS core
changed many optimization improvements went inside all libraries.
Conversions, data types and bulk improvements are just some that came
into my mind.
