This is taken care of by the "spell triggers" option now implemented into
sorcery. It allows spells to do things based on what other spells do
using "triggers".

ALL gurus need to check their section for spells that take actions when
another spell is cast (zlib, lilo, alsa-driver, NVIDIA_kernel, kdelibs,
etc.) and modify the affected spells to use triggers. This will greatly
improve the integratedness (I love new words ;)) of our grimoire.
