I will get as much of it ready and diffed for you today. 4pm PST is
unreasonably early though, as I will just be walking in my front door at
that point. I can finish it up tonight however. I /will/ be on IRC later so
you can chart my progress (already 90% done.. need to make sure
$SPELL_CONFIG is sourced properly, and put in the POST_BUILD function)

That will add support for it to sorcery. It will /not/ have created a new
sorcery spell that uses it though. Which is a different beast entirely. I
was working on that last night, but lost my grimoire in some evil bug.
Restored, but lost the spell. I will try and recreate it later for all of us
to test.

Basically, I will do what I can. But don't set a deadline mid day for 4pm
that same day, when I am at work and can't legitimately work on meeting it
until after it is already past.
