Ok... Here is the lowdown on multi grimoire / scribe:

To make something your favorite grimoire, edit /etc/sorcery/local/grimoire -
It is a listing of what's installed. Think of this as a path.. if you have
the spell in whatever is first, it's the one that is cast. Otherwise, it
looks in the next one.

I /think/ that scribe will bump your current devel grimoire to second place
when you add test, thus making test the default. If you wanted to reverse
that, you would just scribe add devel again, as it does check for duplicates
(which almost always works. ;P).

That said, the functionality of ordering them via a nice dialog is something
that i want to add post 1.0.

Oh.. and the codex files are in the root cause it just makes sense that way.
codex.sourcemage.org/grimoire.tar.bz2 - its clean. The rest is for pre codex
users (which i am sure we still have)

If you want to add something from another location, you still dont need to
edit your config file. Just type "scribe add <grimoire> from <full url
including filename to grimoire>" - Presumably if you are already doing this
you understand the relatively simple tarball structure. :)
