I've made this an automatic configuration in the upcoming 2.16 release
of sybperl, and in DBD::Sybase 1.03. However, I don't have a 64bit box
that I can test this on.
Could someone on a 64 bit box confirm that perl sets the "use64bitall"
Config.pm value to "defined" when you build it in 64bit mode?
If this is the case then we won't need the CONFIG file's BUILD_TYPE
value anymore, and we'll automatically check for the thread-safe
libraries if usethreads is set.
