If we want the speed Arwed is implying this command will take, we're
almost certainly going to have to cache the results in a single file.

We cache the locations of spells with scribe reindex to make spell lookups
fast, digging around in all the grimoire sections for a spell takes longer
than grepping a flat file (grep is really really fast in comparison to
30+ readdir's).

In the interest of making scribe reindex not totally suck, can this
KEYWORD field please be greppable (no variable substitution).
