The difficulty I run into is actually that there are now two libraries
of firebird,
and they are linked against each other. So the pain would be still
there I think,
if we'd make a sub-process (or it would be even worse,
since we'd need the runnable firebird file too).

But with Lionel's help things seem to turn good now.
