We need a virtual database to inherit controls from the real database. 
Sharing the array of known controls could be a solution, but it wouldn't 
allow the virtual database to have specific controls, e.g. registered by 
an overlay.  A solution would be to let the real database know it's 
related to virtual ones, so that modifications to the real database via 
back-config can be propagated to the virtual ones.  This, of course, 
poses the problem that if a virtual database is deleted, any reference 
to it must be removed from the list of related databases.  I wonder if 
all of this is worth the effort of exposing real controls by the virtual 
database.
