I _believe_ the 11.0.3 release is a "free" one, i.e. you don't need to
get a license for it. In that case, you could put together a how-to like

download freetds-vvvv.tgz ; unpack
download sybase-client-11.0.3.tgz ; unpack
cp sybase/include/*.h freetds/include/
edit the ZSybase/src/Setup file, to do -Ifreetds/include

Apply patch to ZSybase src..

build, done.

An alternative is to just comment out all of the ones that ZSybase doesn't
need, and get that folded into the main source (maybe wrap the extras 
inside #ifdef KITCHEN_SINK/#endif)

Anthony, who didn't have anything like enough time to investigate this... :(
