I've stumbled over this myself minutes before I received your mail ;-)
So far it looks good (certainly much better than netmrg), and it seems
as if it at least support what I want semi-automatically.

Still, I'd prefer a solution where new databases show up
automatically - I'll see if I can get cacti to do that somehow.

Thanks for the tip!
