just found it:
http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/Setup/Windows/Building_with_MinGW
see comment on MSSQL Server backend
"The mssql backend is primarily intended for Unix environments where a
native client library is not available for the MS SQL Server and FreeTDS
library provides the only alternative. On Windows platforms, the native
client is an ODBC driver so it's better to use the odbc backend."
to be honest, it seems reasonable, ODBC is not bad and the driver in sync
