Dave's tied up with other stuff at the moment, but I've run this by him,
and he says your patch looks good.

As to whether it make it into a future release, I can certainly apply
it to the repository, but neither Dave nor I have a Sybase installation
to test it against at the moment (and neither of us can really spare
the time).

That raises the question - should the project be moved to Sourceforge? I'm
not convinced the move would solve anything: it would still require at
least one developer with C skills and the time to review and test patches,
cut releases, and reply to queries - is there anyone on the list willing
to commit to that?
