DBIx::DBSchema on CPAN is directly descended from the schema-handling
stuff in Freeside (FS::dbdef and friends).  When I get a free minute,
Freeside will switch over to DBIx::DBSchema.

The relevance to you is that instead of patching fs-setup "manually", you
can use DBIx::DBSchema to read your existing schema from MySQL or Pg, and
generate source code to drop right into the tables_hash_hack subroutine of
fs-setup.

Yep, adding new services shouldn't be too difficult.  Did you find
eg/table_template-svc.pm useful?
