Attached is the script I used to use to do this.  It probably doesn't
work with the new codex stuff, and I'm not at home to be able to test it
and fix it, but basically all it does is get a listing of all the
directories in $GRIMOIRE before and after a sorcery update, and reports
a diff (displays on the screen and/or emails the report).  I think that
replacing $GRIMOIRE with $GRIMOIRE[0] might sort of work, assuming you
only are using one grimoire.  I think there's also an enhancement filed
in bugzilla about reporting the status after a sorcery update, which
would hopefully include the new spells added to the grimoire..  Let me
know if there's any interest in this script and I'll fix it..
