Since this is installer data, I don't think it necessarily has to be fast? I
figure the most important part is to make it easy to read and update? 

Actually, I don't know if we necessarily need to change C4/Installer.pm? 

We could use YAML as a declarative format for the database data, and then the
Release Manager/Release Maintainer could run a tool to compile it into a SQL
script. 

If we only do that compilation at release time, it would also be easier to
audit and find bugs in the final result.
