Hi,

That would mean you still need to build fb2.5 so you haven't won
much *and* distros will have to use internal fb2.5 and fb3.0 from the system?
I don't like that :)

 - We make a utility separate from LibO that converts the fb2.5 data
   to archive format within an odb. We can even compile that utility
   (and fb2.5) with an older MSVC and be done with it. Or we "require"
   a system-installed firebird 2.5. Hum.

But then you require basically fb2.5 and fb3.0 at runtime, or at least 
to convert this. Which is even worse, and either of both might not exist
(anymore)

I doubt e.g. Debian will provide both so they can be installed parallel....
See the current state where firebord-dev 2.5 is in sid and firebird-dev in
experimental is 3.0

 - We cop out and say the Firebird was an experimental feature
   anyway.

I could live with that even though I shipped it already
