unit out of about three hundred units - no compiler defines are in
your actual project code, only in the Compiler Options dialog which
then applies to the whole project. So that's not really promoting
them.

This is what I meant - I'll take a look closer at the time when we
actually need embedded firebird support.

No, I was going to use one or the other, not both firebird connection methods.
