well, this needs a good thought. We should add the less providers we can. So:

* freetds supports sybase and MS SQL, right? if so, there will be one provider
  for both of them
* do we really want to have apart from this a gda-sybase-server to let
  people compile with Sybase libs instead of freetds? If so, this provider
  should compile well with both sybase and freetds libs IMO.

So I don't see the need for the gda-sybase_tds server. Won't it be a duplicated
effort?
