An alternative would be to write a takusen <-> freetds binding
(http://www.freetds.org/). This would have the potential benefits of
being

    * cross platform (ie windows and linux)
    * multi db (ie ms-sql and sybase)

I should admit that there's a bit of self-interest here... I'd use such
a binding it it existed.
