Well, I've found a reference to "libibpp" when trying to repackage gambas2 (in
particular, the gb.db.firebird component, which provides firebird accessibility
to gambas projects).
So I've just decided to make this package: I think it's simpler having common
files in separate packages (I don't agree with Olivier's statement below).

Well, not, I didn't talk to Olivier (or anybody else). I didn't think it was
necessary.
