Either I overcame my resistance to getting SQL 2005 configured or it
overcame it's resistance to me, but I've now got it working and have
run the FreeTDS test suite with all tests passing,  the only caveat
being that I still need to add support to build some of the newer tests.

I also discovered that the system-supplied iconv() is broken in a
couple of nasty ways, so the attached patch turns it off by default
so we use the FreeTDS home-grown implementation.
