Discussion of Spells and Grimoire items

[Robin Cook <rcook AT wyrms.net>]

I just added the -Ui_db to both config lines in the build and then 
added "cast -c DB_File" to the end of the POST_INSTALL.  Though 
probably should add a "dispel DB_File" in a PRE_REMOVE file.

Is that the proper way to do this?  Sounds cludgy to me, but I don't think
sorcery offers anything that can help.  I was thinking TRIGGERS might
help, but that's not what we need here either.  We need a more "after
casting this spell, cast me" kinda thing.  TRIGGERS _could_ handle this
with a TRIGGERS in DB_File saying "on_cast  perl  cast_self".  But DB_File
would have to be cast to register this in the first place...

I don't think that way will work, as then DB_File will not show up to the
user as one that will be cast, nor will the dependencies be defined
anywhere for this.

Thoughts?  Or shall we just have 'cast  DB_File' in POST_INSTALL and
'dispel DB_File' in PRE_REMOVE?
