[Catalyst] fix config right before database connect?

We have the same multi-instance set up, and instead of patching have two 
config files per instance. The first contains entries common to all, and 
the second adds in instance specific database connect info.

Catalyst will load any config named $myapp_foo. In this case, I doubt 
the order matters.

e.g.
cat conf/myapp_common.xml

<config>
   <name>Myapp</name>
   <log>conf/logging.conf</log>

   <model name="Core">
     <schema_class>Myapp::Schema::DB</schema_class>
   </model>
</config>

cat conf/myapp_perinstance.xml

<config>
   <name>Myapp</name>
   <model name="Core">    	
     <connect_info>dsn:blah/connect_info>
     <connect_info>monkey</connect_info>
     <connect_info>tennis</connect_info>
   </model>
</config>

HTH,
David
