Aha! Demand :)

I've been using it at my work for over a month now with no real issues ( 
none that aren't fixed anyway ).
I've renamed it from gtk2-gladexml_DBI_helper to Gtk2::Ex::DBI as 
requested. I still haven't figured out a way to automate installation ( 
haven't tried too hard either ).

Works good for us anyway. Feel free to request features, report bugs, 
etc. I'm not completely happy with my 'calculated fields' feature. It 
looks a bit clumsy, but it does what I want for now. If someone has a 
better suggestion, I'm all ears...
