I am in the process of upgrading the Ruby C extensions to FreeTDS from 0.91 
to 0.95.

The primary goal is to also support using TDSVER 7.3 and the newly supported 
2008 data types. 

Is this possible to use these new types in 0.95 when many of the types are 
not defined in sybdb.h? For example here is a diff of that file when 
comparing 0.95 to master.

For example, I can see that dbcoltype() is returning integers that match 
these below. I can even see the binary data, but I am unsure how what API 
functions I need to use this data. So far dbdatecrack() is not working. Any 
recommendations?

SYBMSDATE = 40

SYBMSTIME = 41

SYBMSDATETIME2 = 42

SYBMSDATETIMEOFFSET = 43
