Howdy Gurus

Please don't hammer me to hard for this query but I have been using this
distro for little over 18 months now and am happy with most parts of the
distro
that I understand except one ... cast --fix

Now the Wiki says: Check integrity of the spells; make sure all
dependancies are in place; fix any broken spells found.

What this option does, does not concern me as much as how it does it.

My annoyance is that once a broken spell is found, then dependancies are
checked for this spell whether the dependancy spell
has already been checked or not.

Now I am not sure if this would appear to difficult but my suggestion is
that the check be done in order.
The default order would be those spells installed on initial setup in such
an order that any one spell coming
after previous spells would depend only on spells that precede it in the
order.

This would in turn negate the need to recheck the integrity of a dependant
spell as it has already been checked.

For all future spells that are installed, they would simply be added to the
end.

The fly in my ointment would be where a user chooses to not select an
optional dependancy initially
but then wishes to use it later. This would require the new dependancy to be
placed before spell being
cast.

As at the begining of email, it is not that I am unhappy with distro (in
fact I love the control) but just thought
I would share a thought with you.

Also, if this is impossible or is deemed unfit for consideration I have no
gripe :))
