Philippe Makowski started one branch but with pyfirebirdsql

My guess is that you can do the same and
create a new fdb based driver just with a simple copy of kinterbasdb
based and replace kinterbas with fdb
https://bitbucket.org/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/src/ea4bd6b54789/lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/firebird
But i wait for others to comment before i start
As FDB is very close to kinterbasdb this should hopefully not be too
difficult.

Let us know when you have something to work/test with.
