Big thanks to chris@... for popping Firebird 1.5.1 in the ports
tree for FreeBSD!

The upgrade process (If anyone's looking at doing the same) is:

`portupgrade firebird`

What this does is:
downloads the sources
patches for use on FreeBSD
configures
compiles
makes a backup of the current install
installs the new version
checks to see if all files copied ok
removes the backup copy

Gotta love FreeBSD and Firebird!
