Good point, Andrew, but I think that, overall, having a 'sorcery-tools'
spell would be nice. Or perhaps (and better yet? :) We'll see...) a
sorcery-tools section, or tools section, or they could just go in the sgl
section. Anyways, we could have each of the scripts a separate spell in
said section, though this might not look pretty, it will give people the
option of which scripts they want, instead of an all or nothing (short of
getting the ones you want manually).
