Setup the FireBird development environment

The FireBird development environment requires the Embedded FireBird Server, the FireBird ODBC driver and a GUI tool, we use IBOConsole as our GUI tool for FireBird, it's a great tool.

The Embedded FireBird Server and the FireBird ODBC driver can be found at the FireBird official site. The IBOConsole can be downloaded from mengoni's site.
