I think the best place to get the code for the MySQL driver is from FreeCLX on Sourceforge - http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freeclx/freeclx/ will take you to the ViewCVS pages and http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeclx to the main page for the project.

The code for the Pascal interfaces should also be available there. The Firebird/InterBase header file comes with the IBX code. With C++ and Delphi under your belt all you need is some understanding of how MySQL works and you'll be away.

If you (or anyone) can get something started let me know and we can get it into a new module under the Firebird CVS tree. Once that is achieved we open the way for lots of people to get involved with it.
