There's not that much going on.  You just have to add a 
mssqlConnection() function to the top, which should be easy, and then 
run test.py -dmssql

Sure, it can go in.  The only issue is that I can't test it.  I can't 
test Sybase either, nor MaxDB (MaxDB simply because it would be too hard 
to install).

Yes, those all have to be changed now.  It would be nice to separate 
this out more cleanly at some point, but it's not a big priority to me 
either.
