Just thought of a very easy thing to do that is arguably a tiny improvement on the current behavior:

https://gitorious.org/freetds/freetds/merge_requests/15
 ("src/tds/config.c: If we see an unknown option value for 'encryption' in config, assume it to be 'required', because that's safer than assuming 'no'.") 

I see no harm in doing this and it seems slightly better if FreeTDS is built with OpenSSL or GnuTLS and the user specifies "encryption = hell yes!" and then gets encryption instead of not getting it.
