Good news, all,

It's now 1:10 AM, and I've got the beginnings of the nsfreetds
driver.  (Yes, that's what I've decided to call it.)

Some details about the driver's current state:

* I haven't tested this with anything but SELECT statements,
  DML may fail.

* The driver only supports columns of max size 255 characters.
  It has a buffer overrun because of this current limit.

* The driver is most likely not thread-safe.  I've already
  identified the areas in the driver that are questionable, and will
  be addressing it soon.  If you get strange result sets back, perhaps
  someone else is running a query at the same time.  Surprise!

Anyhow, this is a good proof-of-concept, and I want to thank all
of you for contributing a SQL Server for me to test against.
Hopefully in a short amount of time the driver will be complete
enough to release as a v0.1 release, and we can get some serious
testing going on.

Then, I can think about compiling a Win32 build of it, and
checking it into AOLserver CVS.
