Thanks a lot Craig for your answer.
2 simple remarks:
A) Why is there no instruction in the INSTALL file about autogen.sh?
"Brief Instructions" just shows:
$ ./configure --help
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Everyone new to freetds will run these commands and face the same probs as me.
B) Regarding the "current" version available on www.freetds.org, why is this
left as is? Can anyone modify these pages? Just point to the git repository!
I must be missing something, because all of this sounds obvious and I would
wonder that nobody changed it already if it was so simple.

If all does not go well, you may be building autotools from scratch, which is a rather unpleasant bare knuckle experience for those of us unaccustomed to such things.
