I think it's a good idea.
Another idea I have would be to add a "module" field, to separate the 
different uses of auth values :
- cataloguing
- acquisitions
- members
- ...

thus, only "cataloguing" auth values lists would appear in 
marc_subfield_structure.pl
only "acquisitions" auth values lists would appear in aqbudgets.pl (note 
to everyone : aqbudget coming soon, it's a part of new acq module)
...

I feel we use auth values for a lot of things (and that's nice), and 
they start to be poorly readable for librarians

how to do it (imo) :
add the column
set it to ''
when needing to list the authvalues categories, display those with the 
needed module or no module specified. Thus we would be 100% compatible 
with previous versions, and librarians could upgrade their setup to have 
something more readable.
