Although I am lazy and won't provide you with example, rest assured that you can override the built in values and use non-Cake-standard field names as your primary key. Dig around in api.cakephp.org, focusing on the models section. This is probably an opportunity for me to up my mojo and provide a nice blog post later today or early tomorrow on how to override all the values in a CakePHP model configuration, thereby earning the praises of CakePHP developers everywhere.
