Sorcery itself should be okay, we need to fully develope our depends.
At the same time, I think some of the extremely low level stuff, all in
basesystem there is supposed to be an non-explicit depends on
basesystem. I still think there should be ordering among the basesystem
spells.

I know we are missing many depends than should be listed, but are not.
I'm beginning to wish we had a way of testing fresh install
dependencies. For example, sorry to pick on evolution2 it might
actually be good, fresh install, 'cast ximian-connector' see if all the
necissary dependencies are found, I doubt it. Or another example, fresh
install, 'cast openoffice' see if that has all the necissary depencies,
and compiles cleanly straight out.

I posted a bug on that a while back[0] but I made it more generic, any
time two spells are in a queue not just rebuild.
