I've no clue as to how you are tying it to IC.  What happens
if you don't even mention it in the cfg file?  Depending on how
you do the queries and what's changed since 4.03 you might not need
anything more than a handle on the products table.  Certainly of the
5.5m only a small percentage are "active".  We maintain a small table
of registered data, a first_name,last_name,cookie and id that then
gets joined to others tables as required.  None of those are catalog.cfg.
Maybe I'm reading your question wrong.  :-)
