Description:
------------
In the php function sybase_connect one can pass the 4th parameter to that function, to change the db charset.

But in Pear DB/sybase.php there is no way to pass that parameter.

Reproduce code:
---------------
When looking at the DB/sybase.php there is:

$conn = @$connect_function($interface, $dsninfo['username'], $dsninfo['password']);

So there's no way to pass the 4th parameter (charset) to sybase_connect or sybase_pconnect.

I think it should be changed to:

$conn = @$connect_function($interface, $dsninfo['username'], $dsninfo['password'], $dsninfo['charset']);

So it would be possible to pass the charset this way:
$dsn='sybase://user:pass@host/db?charset=iso88592';

Is it possible to implement this functionality with mssql? Or is there a way for php to connect to mssql using the conf file of freetds (freetds.conf)?
