I am working on refactoring the freely-available HC DPD (Canadian) data into 
GNUmed.

I should maybe not be surprised at the number of steps required to get this 
stuff right!

When I am further through it, I expect I will have a mix of some shell commands 
and sql and I will wonder whether (if it is desirable to have such 
installations logged in GNUmed) there could be a skeletal script or script set 
(shell / python / sql) made available, and which can help to achieve the 
desired consistency by, say, allowing pack-specific code to be inserted?
