New features: You can now install and run several different versions of Firebird at the same time, including client and development libraries, since the databases require the corresponding server versions.

not a fan of this
INSTALLscript, its barely readable, uses absolute paths instead of relative paths, usespwgenwhich might not be installed. Does for some reason setsLD_LIBRARY_PATH. chowning all files in/tmp/firebirdfor whatever resaon.
/tmp/firebird creates the firebird utilities themselves. Nothing bad will happen if pwgen is not installed. You can remove INSTALL. I automated a quick deployment of the firebird server in it.
Ha! an idea came up - to immediately launch utilities as the _firebird user. Is the new user valid in the INSTALL script?
