Yes, there is currently no way to do CRUD with CCK stuff. And it hurts

Perhaps just adding a hook_node_fields($type), which is a cck data structure to be imported

into the db.

Then the modules could just expose bog standard drupal nodes, and add the fields to them.

I don't know cck well enough to know whether something like this doesn't exist.

You'd also need to dump the node type settings, but that's a single var per type, iirc.

It should be possible to dump multiple node types to a module too, so you could have a

$profile_node_types.module be generated , to set all that up.
