Dufflebunk suggested something similar, and I am fine with doing that if it lessens the impact. The one thing we would have to do then is have sorcery use two different config storage files, as sorcery routinely trashes the DEPENDS_CONFIG/SPELL file during CONFIGURE. I wouldnt want to determine when and where that happens... the workaround would be like a META_CONFIG/SPELL file or something. (or maybe DEPENDS_CONFIG/SPELL.meta)

The other thing about that is that we then essentially have two CONFIG files. Which is pretty odd design.

I think just flipping the order is cleaner, assuming that there are no weird hacks in spell CONFIGURE files that rely on DETAILS values to already be set. That's one of the reasons I put this out here on the list... to see if any guru's can find any places where this would break stuff.

Lets run CONFIGURE /before/ running DETAILS.

In any case, this is a big change design wise (though small
code-wise)

What about creating a new METACONFIGURE file (needs a better name)
that gets sourced before running DETAILS. This would be a small
change design-wise (all current spells would continue to work as is)
and a small change code-wise (no different than changing the order
of running CONFIGURE/DETAILS).
