I've done a first round through the grimoire and a lot of spells were
skipped due to brokenness, so I expect a re-run will find even more
issues. Through the weekend I will triage the rest of the bugs filed,
but I have one question to ask of everybody:

Should the spells that depend on z-rejected spells be moved until they
can have that restriction lifted?

There are spells that depend on a z-rejected spell that aren't rejected
because they could conceivably be run on code that wasn't rejected if we
had a spell for it and got it to work with it. I'm talking mostly about
anything we have that's java-based. I'm inclined just to say that java
should be its own grimoire (sequestered) until we can get the spells to
actually build/run in gcj or some other java compiler/runtime. Thus
they're provisionally rejected, in a way since they can't be built with
our system without a rejected spell.
