Aha! That got me a few steps forward, but now I get:
[SQL::Translator] Got parser: code ref
[SQL::Translator] Got producer: code ref
[SQL::Translator] Got parser: SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class::parse
[SQL::Translator] Got producer: 
SQL::Translator::Producer::DBIx::Class::File::produce
Error: translate: Error with parser 
'SQL::Translator::Parser::DBIx::Class': No DBIx::Schema at 
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/SQL/Translator/Parser/DBIx/Class.pm line 34.

Looking at the code, I see that the parser expects to see the schema in the
    my $dbixschema  = $args->{'DBIx::Schema'} || $data;
    $dbixschema   ||= $args->{'package'};

Going through sqlt with debugger, I see args being set up, but I don't 
see any way whatsoever of passing a "DBIx::Schema" or "package" 
parameter to the parser. I must be missing something.

Is anybody using sqlt to translate DBIx::Class schemas into other stuff? 
If not, what are you using? And is, whatever you're using, able to 
specify the full range of DBIx::Class relationships, including many_to_many?
