Not really on this list. Ask your ODBC question in the firebird-odbc-devel list and third-party tools questions in firebird-tools.

And also ask yourself why it's such a necessity to create a database as part of installation. Restoring a metadata backup (or a with-data backup, if you need to deploy some data) is much simpler.
