It's actually in cdr/Makefile and it's attempting to detect the version
number in /usr/include/tdsver.h, specified as TDS_VERSION_NO.
Unfortunately, it's a string, rather than a number, which means we
have to translate it to something else in the Makefile.  Given the
somewhat strange versioning, we attempted to make it work with
later bugfix releases of 0.63.  Note that cdr_tds shouldn't attempt
to build at all, if we aren't able to detect a compatible version.
