it is possible you may have several databases in one schema and not want
all classes in the same package. the package attribute will override
that specified in build.properties.
baseClass overrides the default parent class for the OM classes which is
BaseObject.
basePeer does the same for the FooPeer classes.
The baseClass does not have to extend BaseObject, but you will need to
implement the Persistent interface somewhere along the chain.
basePeer should have BasePeer as the top level class. Remember these
classes are full of static methods so do not expect oo behavior.
defaultIdMethod specifies the idMethod for tables that do not include
the attribute.
