It's an attitude. Why isn't that part of dbicadmin? Why doesn't Cat
roll that into script/? Why doesn't a fresh Cat app automatically

Look, I think DBIC and Cat are awesome things (God Bless Chained),
but they're far from new-user friendly and they could use a
substantial amount of glue and gloss to fill in the holes. The real
question is whether that can happen, or we get mired in debate about
'they can just download 5 other things to do the same thing'
