Actually, now (within the last couple of days), dev_propdb is private
and there are devprop_*() wrappers for this purpose. You're right, a
lot of the autoconfiguration code needs better (or any)
documentation, and I am trying to clean some stuff up now that would
make writing this documentation easier (i.e. remove a ton of special
cases that the code has grown over the years).
