Eric, that was just a dirty solution for some people having issues with
the stub GDS32.DLL. With most applications, just dumping a renamed
fbclient.dll as gds32.dll in the system directory was a-not-that-bad
trick. But this isn't sufficient and a more complete solution was being
looked at.

Paul will tell more in the following days, but a new scheme for
GDS32.DLL has been thought out and implemented. It might still need some
tweaks in the coming days based on some user experience and I vote in
advance for one more RC (at least considering Win32 platform) for this
reason.

In the next RC or whatever to be released, look for the instgds.exe tool
(or the installer itself).
