In fact, this is also on the Firebird "open items" feature list as a
separate items to the initial bug fix.

I had hoped to have the database alias feature make the v1.0 release,
but that's getting doubtfull at the moment, to many things are getting
gotten in the way.

Maybe I'll get a burst of energy and enough free time to make the v1.0
feature cut off date. If not, there is always the next release...
