The first method is also useful if your building a package that has both 
core modules and a catalyst site, and you want to keep MyApp free of 
Catalyst code....

$ catalyst MyApp::Catalyst

Now, you have:

lib/MyApp/Catalyst.pm
lib/MyApp/Catalyst/M
lib/MyApp/Catalyst/V
lib/MyApp/Catalyst/C

and can add:

lib/MyApp.pm
lib/MyApp/Core.pm
..etc...


Now you use MyApp everywhere else, and load MyApp::Catalyst under 
MP/CGI/, etc.
