Right now I've got another Howto to finish, but after that I could
work on yours. I'll contact you when I'm ready to start.

About adding your DBToggler to the Firebird Project: I suppose you
should contact one of the admins, as they are the only ones who can
add modules (iirc). Maybe Dmitri is the one to approach, since he's
in charge of the core coding stuff.

The fact that it's Windows-only (for now) doesn't seem problematic to
me. Maybe later someone else will jump in and make a shell script
implementing the same functionality for Unix. And indeed it's not
"pure" Firebird, but it IS a solution for a problem that Firebird
application developers will sometimes encounter in practice.
