Why not ? :)

Of course we can help with Firebird side of things. Could you point us to
the concrete issue\question ?
So far i see two open questions raised at links above:
a) Can we just ship it in LIBROFFICE_ROOT/program/fbserver? Or will it want
config files in /etc/ and that kind of things?
Since Firebird 2.5 you could place embedded kit at any place you like, just
point FIREBIRD environment variable to
this folder. As for config files and other misc items - see
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/rlsnotes252.html#rnfb25-install-lin-configure
b) can we redirect FireBird's read()/write() to our internal data structures in
this scenario? This could be a blocking issue
You can look at PIO_read\PIO_write and company and modify them to redirect
database IO into your file.
But i would not recommend to do it.

Vlad
