Ok .. thats another option.
I actually write a little howto that is in CVS (part Readme.txt), but I
had some problems with packaging. Anyways there I suggested a slightly
different approach, but yours seems to have worked out well (I will look
at the code later).

alright

LIMBOURG Arnaud [arnaud.limbourg@cegetel.fr] wanted to help out there,
but he is swamped with work and therefore did not get started yet. If
you also want to help out in thet respect :-)

I am actually currently incorporating some changes that Metabase
currently has in beta:
- some bug fixes
- loading all rdbms management methods on demand
- creating an xml schema file from an existing rdbms

Actually I am done with those and I am now just playing around with the
xml schema manager (something which I have regretfully not done a lot
with uptil now)

Yeah .. the number of files is getting larger and larger, so I will
probably start moving things into subdirs pretty soon.
