Ok, my apologies. A number of people have been kind enough to do so and 
I don't quite manage to keep track of the names :)

Actually, I think Chris Laco has built a catinabox which does have DBIC.

What we really need is for me or somebody else to get round to 
encapsulating the appropriate magic to make local installs work; I'm 
pretty sure I know how to do it but I can do it by hand fast enough for 
my own purposes so I've not quite got round to it yet.

Would people be interested in a commercial "local install environment 
manager" type thing? Tuits are far more likely to be available if I can 
justify it as commercial time :)
