One other issue I noticed is that the freetds download from bitbucket
redirects to a https download. On some systems (FreeBSD, OSX), wget
fails to validate the certificate and needs a --no-check-certificate
option or needs to be configured to look for the system certificate
store.

Should we move this to a http only location, prepend the
"--no-check-certificate" to the url, or add notes to the docs about
configuring wget?

Cheers,
