I had a look.

I would not use the unit in that article. 
The sqldb (and dynibase60 unit) supports embedded firebird out of the box.

The only difference is that you must distribute a single dll which must
be located next to your binary. Since you must distribute some extra
firebird files anyway (the messages, collations and whatnot), 
this won't hurt.
