Ahh, sorry, missed answering that part.  ;)  I'd like packages to go into
their most specific section, such as most packages go into the main
grimoire, if they are rejected because of licensing they go into
z-rejected, and if they are a game they go into games (even if they have
z-rejected licensing, then they just go into games/z-rejected).  This way,
if you just want the normal packages, you can use the main grimoire, if
you want to use some non-OSS licensed packages, you can add z-rejected,
and if you want games, you add games.  It would be weird to look for a
game not in the games grimoire but in z-rejected (to me), so that's my
reasoning.

Yep, otherwise we could have 3 'libs' sections, one for main, games, and
z-rejected each.
