[SQLObject] Firebird support

[Ian B. <ia...@co...>]

I added the Firebird Database support that James Ralston wrote.  I also 
have Firebird now installed on my computer to test it out, but I'm not 
really sure how to set it upt, like how to create a database and set 
permissions and such.  If anyone can give me some quick pointers (I 
happen to be using the Debian packages, if that's useful), it would 
allow me to do continued testing as SQLObject evolves.

isql -user SYSDBA -password masterkey create database dbfilename.gdb 
character set UNICODE_FSS

I think the debian package overrides the default password, so you
  may need to check its docs for that

All the docs for interbase (and firebird has not changed much in the way 
of interfaces) are available from ibphoenix.com at
