Some thoughts...and keep in mind it's early and I'm still asleep at the
wheel...

It appears that your tweaking implies that I can no longer do

    $ catalyst MyApp

Or is this all just for demo purposes?

Thie other problem this presents is the model config:

Not all models are the same. Some models don't use dsns, tables, users,
or passwords. For example, the SVN model I'm working on taks two config
params: repository and revision.

The mk_component part of your example can't possibly kow every variation
of model params out there.

Instead, I'd suggestr simple using the order of params:


    model:
	name: Source
        type: SVN
        params:
            /my/repo/path
            HEAD


which then get's stuffed info

mk_component(appname, 'model' 'Source', 'SVN', '/my/repo/path')


Same deal doe DBI based things...


    model:
	name: MyTable
	type: CDBI
	params:
		mydsn
		myuser
		mypass

mk_component(appname, 'model', 'MyTable', 'CDBI', 'mydsn', 'myuser',
'mypass')


Other than that, I like the idea...
