I don't normally use embedded, but simply copying the contents of the
Firebird embedded Zip + jaybird21.dll into the root of my Netbeans
project makes everything just work. That is without specifying
java.library.path or the system PATH, or without using
System.load(<absolute-path-to-jaybird21.dll>).

Of course to get it working outside of Netbeans will probably need some
additional tweaking of the ANT build.xml to get a complete distribution.

This isn't the prettiest solution, but it does work!
