No, but we are working on it, with Windows support to be added (most likely
by Jonathan) once new Linux install/build system stable.

I know Mark would like to use firebird as soon as possible, as we have run
into some licensing problems re MySQL. For a start, I would suggest trying to
check out latest core, and seeing if you can get Firebird to pass the supplied
tests. Ideally you would provide new file doc/firebird.html, describing how to
install and configure Firebird for use with Stellation, so we add Firebird to
the list of supported databases (we currently only support postgreSQL).

We hope to have nightly builds available soon, which will permit retrieval
without using CVS.
