Hi, as I told in a previous post engine\_migrate generate files in  
app\_root/db, not in engine/db (so does the controller generator)

As a consequence, every time I generate a new migration I have to move  
the file by myself, not a big deal but -\> schema.rb is ALSO in app/db  
not in engine/db so, I’ve symlinked engine/db with app/db.  
I find this kind of trick quite strange and I really wonder if there’s  
something wrong somewhere because I didn’t found anything in the doc  
about the need to symlink this file.
