a deep bind doesn't solve this, really.  i have my own face database
and i keep them in a directory "rsc/" so that i don't have to worry about
the deep bind.  the problem is that there's one database per bit depth.
if you've got two different directory hierarchies, merging the databases
can't be done automatically with a bind.
