I implemented your suggestion. And I just committed the supporting  
scripts and php packages using this new schema on the 'pdb_redesign'  
branch. There are still a couple of issues left (see new file TODO,  
HOWTO is updated as well). But I think the general concept seems to  
work fine. It would be great if you could look at the commits and  
comment on the wiki or here on the mailing list.

Thanks!
