yes; sorry I forgot to specify the -d flag in cvs update... now I see the files

generally I agree, even if I do an exception for my generated makefiles which I do keep in 
CVS... but that's not required.

In this case assing tests_firebird.cpp to the CVS seems to be a good choice since AFAIK 
cxxtest is not very common on user's workstations...

I have two little advices looking at your BKL:

1) many settings are repetead in the <lib> and <dll> targets of the same database source; 
this means that when you want to change something you need to do it twice... a better 
approach could be declaring a <template> from which your <lib> and <dll> derive.

2) instead of the current definition of MSVC6_MERGED_TARGETS I would use:

     <set var="MSVC6PRJ_MERGED_TARGETS">
         databaselayer_postgresql=databaselayer_postgresql_lib+databaselayer_postgresql_dll
         databaselayer_mysql=databaselayer_mysql_lib+databaselayer_mysql_dll
         databaselayer_firebird=databaselayer_firebird_lib+databaselayer_firebird_dll
         databaselayer_sqlite=databaselayer_sqlite_lib+databaselayer_sqlite_dll
     </set>

which make msvc6prj nicer ;)

Good !
I think it will help users who want to try out wxcode components.
Please let me know if you find something is missing from wxcode\build\bakefiles\readme.txt 
and from wxcode\build\bakefiles\empty.bkl.template...
