With the constraints we saw to start using FB3 and its native C++ API straight away, we chose to go for FB2.5 and the native plain C API. I think this is a safer path and migrating to native C++ and FB3 once it is stable shouldn't be hard in the future. ... > Also have any of you looked at integrating Firebird into the LO build > system yet, as this was one of the first things I was planning on doing > (although that is dependent on the choice of FB 2.5 vs 3).

I started doing it for Linux as an external dependency. I also started walking the path to add FB as a bundled library inside LibO, but this is far from being completed. In any case, any help on Windows is welcome :) Javier is the one leading the development effort of the SDBC driver.
