Whoops, behind on mail.

Yes.  DBIC would be VERY nice to have, but is not feasible for quite
some time yet.

Yes.

    authentication => {
        dbic => {
            catalyst_user_class  => "Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::DBIC::User::CDBI",
            user_class           => 'MyApp::M::CDBI::Users',
            user_field           => 'email',
            password_field       => 'password',
            password_type        => 'hashed',
            password_hash_type   => 'MD5',
        },
    },
    authorization => {
        dbic => {
            role_class           => 'MyApp::M::CDBI::Role',
            role_field           => 'name',
            user_role_class      => 'MyApp::M::CDBI::UserRole',
            user_role_user_field => 'user_id',
            user_role_role_field => 'role_id',
        },
    },

Note the catalyst_user_class hack, which gets around the DBIC/CDBI
autodetecting issue (which hasn't been reliable for me).
