Just curious, are there any plans to use Event Log message files for logs
that use ReportEvent API in future versions?

At the moment you get something like the following in the event log

The description for Event ID ( 251 ) in Source (
FirebirdGuardianDefaultInstance ) cannot be found. The local computer may
not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag
to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The
following information is part of the event: Server Started: Guardian
starting: C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\fbserver.exe[.
