In firebird-devel, I once wrote on 04-jun-2004:

which allows me to choose the words "supposedly trivial" I think.

Also, I *have* built TCP servers that wrap fbembed already, just that
they don't use Firebird's wire protocol but a proprietary one. And I'd
find it pretty straightforward to repackage them as DLLs.

Finally, if we had "classic embedded shared" access a-la-linux on
Windows, I think nobody would bother asking for an "embedded
superserver" anymore. It is my underatanding that this is one of the
promises of the Vulcan project.
