The Windows build looks like it'll be somewhat tricky, running configure fails at the moment with configure: error: unsupported platform i686-pc-cygwin According to the instructions at <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <a href="http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/building-the-code/">http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/building-the-code/</a> you are supposed to just run three .bat scripts, but I'm not sure how well that'll integrate with the rest of the LO build system -- I'll update once I understand more.

If no-one else is currently doing this I could concentrate on the building/integration of firebird within LO?
