Added support for SQL Server and improved Sybase support

Version 0.9.8 released. Major functions include query based factories to deal with joins, and much better support for MySQL.

Added support for Query Based Factories. These allow you to treat a result of query as a read-only table. Then code can be generated to query such factories and return Java objects.

The initial use is in dealing with joins.

We started with using views, but not all databases support views.

Fixed a bug in the release from last week.
Changes in 0.9.6 also include better type mapping to allow for new languages to be included into the framework.

Sorry to anyone who had problems building, the old BUILD info file was outdated. I have put correct property dependency checking in ant so that no env scripts are needed simply set REGEXP_JAR, JDBC_JAR, XML_JAR, and ABRA_HOME in then and <db-name>

This is in the current CVS I will release soon when I complete some other fixes..
