the first thing you specify is the spell directory, it then makes a
tar.bz2 file out of it. It then uses uuencode to create a message with
the bz2 file attached and send it on its way. the second thing you
specify on the command line is the section which it uses to get the
maintainers email and assemble the subject line of course if you dont
remove the echo line it doesnt do anything ;)
i figure if its part of sorcery it'd be easier for users to use then
waiting for them to get the inspiration to go 'oh i'll just cast _this_
spell and then i can do that' it could easily exist as part of scribe,
like scribe submit or scribe offer or something like that.
