[ipac] rebuild HIP 3.x on Linux

[Natasha Stephan]

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for this info.  I've found that gbak (used in rebuild) is in 
/opt/firebird/bin rather than /usr/interbase/bin, so I made that 
change in my rebuild.sh.
If I get the ipacadmin.gdb transferred over (per Casey's 
instructions), I'll be running rebuild this weekend.  Keeping my 
fingers crossed...
