If I take old gdsimpl from FB1 and place in FB2 intl directory with
name fbintl all works fine.
If I take new libfbintl.so and place in FB2 intl directory with
name fbintl I get message that "CHARACTER SET WIN1251" is not defined
trying to connect to database.

Thats why I told that it is broken and if I fix it it will still work
like FB1 one, not with new plugin architecture.
