It's oftentimes easy to rename SPELL to SPELLX in the *new* spell across 
all files (perl -pi -e), and then simply add SPELL=<newname> at the top 
of DETAILS. I believe that you (Eric) used this technique in the past, 
this were I saw it first.

One correction: you can modify spells after "integrate" without 
submitting by using "edit" command on newly integrated files (not all of 
them, only those that need to be changed). Then submit.
