Hi Ken,

The dfv profiles are produced as part of generating a 'driver' for a 
Maypole application. There's some description, with an example and all 
the code at:

http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/dhoworth/perl/Maypole-CDBI_Loader.html

Caveats: It's not very pretty and it uses an obsolete but still 
supported flavour of the DFV syntax. I plan to seriously rewrite the 
whole thing, but not just yet :)

Cheers, Dave
