We put the fbclient dll and the firebird odbc driver dll's (we are not 
using Gemini) into the program directory, then use the connection string 
(possibly along with your firebird config file) to point to the 
database. We dont do the full ODBC setup / drivers / registry entry stuff.

I dont know if there are any issues running off a USB drive (I assume 
that is what you mean by "stickable").

Should be easy to test though.
