I'm pretty sure, it will apply just as well against 1.5 -- the driver has not 
changed in years. As currently shipped it is badly broken because the dbd/driver 
API changed (years ago!) and the FreeTDS-driver only got updated to allow it to 
/compile/ (but not /work/).

The drag is in that very few people use Sybase with Apache -- the products are 
from two different worlds, so to speak... My client happens to (still) use 
Vignette for their web-publishing (and Vignette uses Sybase as its own backend), 
so that's why they were interested -- but it is a rare case...

This would be new functionality so I doubt, an expr-run is warranted...

I think, it should LIB_DEPEND on sybdb with the databases/freetds used by 
default. If the system already has -lsybdb installed by any other port, then it 
can use that.
