Arrrgh.

dblib uses FreeTDS which should be available/compile for at least OSX
and Solaris.
Win CE, iphonesim: never heard of it working there, but I'm not a
FreeTDS guru.
Worst case would be that that dblib fails to compile, blowing up the
build again; another risk may be that there actually isn't a FreeTDS
library port for that platform.

Lacak2 and Ludo Brands quite probably have a better idea whether the
first problem may occur; I'd say the other problem is not that big of a
deal ;)

Perhaps the easiest way... if one can accept a Paradox connector without
the required library being available...

Ok.
