Just modify sorcery to override the -c switch to mean "resurrect", or
where sorcery cast -c's spells for dependency resolution and things like
that; have it not use -c and pull from compile cache instead if PREFER_BIN
is enabled in sorcery config.

I read Casey's document, and it seemed a bit overkill if we can use NFS as
many of us do here for managing multiple boxes or even http to publish
sorcery caches. Personally, I'd rather this go into sorcery as an option
than to have an entire new grimoire that needs publishing and maintaining.
It seems it really doesn't need that much modified in sorcery to just do
it without a new grimoire... probably the same amount as with a whole new
grimoire.

You did pique my interest, though :).
