IBX is not a Firebird project. Those very old sources that happen to be in
our CVS tree are the original, unfinished version that was released open
source by (then) Inprise in July 2000. The reason you find it in our tree
is that, on Sourceforge, once something is in the tree, it can't be removed.

The guy who maintains IBX is Jeff Overcash. You can search Borland's
CodeCentral to get hold of his releases.
