I will look into that, thanks. I'm also going to try to allow for
automatic compilation in dev mode.

Actually, ErlyWeb doesn't require ErlyDB. Just keep your models
outside of src/components and you'll be able to use them directly. The
only ErlyDB integration point is in the compilation phase (and when
you're using -erlyweb_magic(on).), so yes, it is quite decoupled.
