[Catalyst] Catalyst-Devel Patch

[Todd Rinaldo]

Hi,

I still think something should go in the manual explaining how this
works. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how
Catalyst::Helper did it's magic. If a code reference shouldn't go in,
then could I recommend a link to the FAQ. I think allot of people get
their start with DBIC using Catalyst::Helper and so it's the natural
place they would look first.
