that would be very cool indeed

what about md5sums and available versions? some projects skip versions,
so we'd have to do some kind of availability checking before generating the
custom spell...
And after it's created, where would the user put the spell? You'd have to
create
a local grimoire first.

Something that might be a cool addition is to have a web interface to quill
(spell generating). That way you could fill in a form with the details and
have
quill write the spell. Automagically submit it to bugzilla would be nice :)

Just an idea,
