Actually, we are only going to be using the modules "sorcery" and
"grimoire".. so if you could delete new_spells too it would be nice..

That won't be consistent with our design plans, so thanks, but no thanks
:)

We are working in 2 teams, one that handles Sorcery - bugfixes and new
features, and one that handles the grimoire, updating and adding spells.
So it would not be smart to have our two modules in one as amongst other
things the grimoire is probably going to be checked out once per day
from a cronjob, and it seems silly to check out sorcery when that is not
needed. Sorcery is not going to be updated quite as often as the
grimoire.

Don't worry about that, we have CVS instructions on our page
(www.sorcerylinux.org), so it won't be a problem..

I'd rather that you remove new_spells altogether :)

Okay, I just figured that since this was somewhat CVS specific I should
write to cvs-hackers..
