I just donwloaded and read the source. It uses two checks (that Nagios
plugin would use):

1. check if port 3050 (or gds_db) is open
2. try to connect to it

This should be enough for basic test. The 2. test requires to have
Firebird client library available, which is also ok.

I'll probably use IBPP library to do this, and I can also query the
server version. Quite enough imho.
