btw, i just love the firebird community/developers' decision to start
using the ".fdb" extension for databases. maybe not all historical
references should be removed/renamed (like the isc_*() API functions)
but particularly filename extensions should be self-describing/
indicating/"predictable".

btw, i hope the "isc4.gdb" will also be renamed someday to something
more descriptive like "security.fdb", "firebird.fdb", or something like
that.
