I have D5, D7 and D2007 running on my machine and they all work fine
with IBO and other 3rd party libraries
Due to some circumstances I am against dropping support for D5 untill we
get mature support for Firebird 2.x with some IBO version... then next
major IBO version can support D7 and up

My $0.02

PS Does someone know how to contact Jason regarding joining testing team
- I'm willing to help - clean machine with Firebird and Delphi 2009 is
waiting...
