I'd rather we not fill our grimoire with meta-spells. We should instead
use the provides/require functionality of sorcery. I'm thinking of
changing the cdrtools meta-spell into the cdrutils (the actual cdrtools),
and having both dvdrtools and cdrtools (the old cdrutils) have 'provides
cdwrite' (cdwrite is from the top of my head, any better suggestions are
welcome ;)) and updating the wiki page for this:
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/index.php?page=GenericDependences.

This may be a good method for pango, change them to be pango1 and pango2
(for GNOME1 and GNOME2, respectively), then have them provide 'pango', and
change all spells which depend on pango to instead say 'requires' (on this
note, is there an optional_require?).

Thoughts?
