Yes, it does.

This doesn't solve the problem of the CDBI::Loader class names being different
from the ones you choose yourself. I'm about to need to write
Maypole::Model::CDBI::Plain, which overrides the setup_database and class_of
methods to take a DSN, username, password and list of classes. It's
sufficiently trivial that I could do it today, but I want to wait until
Email::Store is done (by the end of this week) so I can get it heavily tested.

Oh dear. I've just realised that my fvwm config lasted longer than my
marriage, in that case.
