I had to do a core hack to make the Extension "MSSLBackCompat" for someone
using it in some Semantic* extension. They wanted to use the php libraries, not
the microsoft written ones (they don't work on *nix, right?)

Ended up having to put some value in $canonicalDBTypes to get this to work, not
the worst core hack, but the intention is still there

Be interested to see what the bug author has in mind
