Maybe a simpler one:
If the installed spell is not equal to one of a list (which contains the 
previous minor versions, including the current version) then dispel 
first. I'd think that triggers could be similar, but they are probably 
less necessary, as they don't actually casue things to fail while they 
are building.

I'll ...umm...keep you posted :) I already have coding lined up for 
another project that I really need to get done (and I thought I'd have 
free time this week...seems like I was wrong).
Hmm, really need to create a spell or two for this project (for the 
interested, http://irate.sf.net)
