I do not have any special experience with ActiveRecords which are 
explained on [1] but it's a bit complicated to give you hints as you 
don't describe much what you try to achieve. What do you mean with 
"create a object mapping tool"? Do you want to create some visual editor 
for your extensions? Do you plan to introduce a new way of creating 
extensions? etc.

You may have a look at what is done with extbase_kickstarter in term of 
ORM system.

As you pointed out, ADOdb is a system extension that is used by DBAL to 
access the databases. As such, you may use it freely as you wish.
