I explicitly mention it multiple times (see also above): tomcrypt. The 
behaviour for --with-builtin-tomcrypt (putting it directly in lib) seems 
more sane to me compared to what is done for --with-builtin-tommath 
(putting it in lib/.tm). Why is it handled differently?

That is part of the figuring out. I don't normally write shell scripts 
either, but before that I would also need to figure out exactly what I 
need to do before I can even start on that.

And since I consider this packaging Firebird embedded in a JAR for easy 
use from Java just a "nice to have", I will shelve this until I have 
more energy to tackle this.
