if you're using KInterbasDB 3.2 and newer, then it should find and load
the "embedded" fbclient.dll if you'll put it to any from next locations:

1) current working directory
2) kinterbasdb installation directory
3) "embedded" subdirectory of kinterbasdb installation folder
4) directory of Python executable

if you want to add another location, take a look on __init__.py of
kinterbasdb package and insert it to list of search directories (lines
27-60).
