NOOOO! Please don't do this!!! The whole point of a new driver is to
eliminate the extra copying layer interserver provides, to provide a more
sensible communication scheme (i.e. = original interbase) and to expose the
hidden parts of the interbase API that interserver cleverly covers up (more
or less XA transaction support) (= needed for serious application server
work).
