----------
Write a perl script that takes a very simple definition file for a DB table
and generates the object header files.

Format would be something like:

:tablename
column_name		type		size		key/data
.....
column_name		type		size		key/data

:tablename
column_name		type		size		key/data
.....
column_name		type		size		key/data


etc, repeating for all tables, or an individual file for each.
