You need special software for connecting to MSSQL. Just have a look at
www.freetds.org
MSSQL and Sybase use a protocol called Tabular Data Stream to connect to
the server.
Install the software and then recompile it. Normally you have to use
--with-sybase=path-to-tds.
If there is an --enable-mssql it must be new to 4.0.6.
I have not tried it myself, but maybe someone else on this mailing list
did it already.
