its an optimization the maintainer of both spells [cw]ould use. In
all likelyhood if the spells were so similiar that some files were
linked, then changes to one should probably occur to another. The BUILD
idea was just an example, DEPENDS, POST_INSTALL etc [cw]ould also be
linked. hardlinks also have a link count if we want to go that route. In
either case its just an optimization. One could easily just apply the
same change to both files everytime one thing needs changing.
