From what I understand, under FB 1.5 gds32.dll is a pointer to fbclient.dll, this is so
that applications and tools don't need to be recompiled just to use the new version,
it's expected that most applications and tools will be converted to use the new
library, and that gds32.dll will eventually go away.
