Must I explicit define each database *in* catalog.cfg?
If you have

# Default DBM if nothing else defined
ifndef SOME_DATABASE
include dbconf/default_db/default_db.cfg
endif

in your catalog.cfg and

Message -i -n Using default DBM database...

include dbconf/default_db/*.dbm

in your default_db.cfg, you can create a new file like products_de.dbm
with

Database            products     products_de.txt      TAB

in that file. Or not?
