Thanks Mattias and Juergen... I didn't know about the new way of doing
things. As a result, I had to put the Spell Check and Tabbed CSS in the
toplevel custom.ss. But now that I know, I'll properly put them in the
right places. (It looks like the way that it works now is the way that I
was trying to invent, so... perfect!)

Speaking of this: is there a magic that acts as a type of Notebook
JavaScript package manager? With the new system, it seems like it wouldn't
be too hard to make a small installer that could keep track of
dependencies, versioning, and file copying.
