This is neat, but in no way taking advantage of the new Moose code.

I have some code in the CatalystX::DynamicComponent namespace meant  
to solve this problem:

http://github.com/bobtfish/catalyst-dynamicappdemo/tree/master
http://search.cpan.org/dist/CatalystX-DynamicComponent/

CatalystX::DynamicComponent (which solves around the same problem  
you're solving) is fairly solid at this point. The other things based  
off it which are also in the dist - much less so...

My initial approach was to provide an application class role, but I  
think I may prefer your approach of putting all of the logic into  
it's own class, which you then pass the application class to permute.

Would you be interested in collaborating on this? Initially I think  
I'd fork your code and compose my pre-existing role onto it to see  
how far that gets us / how much of the ugly code you inherited from  
AutoCRUD goes away.

Sound reasonable?
