If nobody objects, I'm going to make a big devel grimoire patch for fixing
all the md5 issues...  xfree86 really needs unpack md5 arguments in its
PRE_BUILD, and so do 60 other spells, so if I do them all at once, it will
be easy to fix.  Anybody object?  irc.positivism.org:8080/md5report kinda
gives a run-down of these problems for test and devel.

(the linux spell works, just haven't written my detection logic to fix it.)

  for i in $(find /var/lib/sorcery/codex -name PRE_BUILD)
    do grep -H unpack $i | grep -v MD5
  done
