make-legendary
==============
Makes the selected dwarf legendary in one skill, a group of skills, or all
skills.  View groups with ``make-legendary classes``, or all skills with
``make-legendary list``.  Use ``make-legendary MINING`` when you need something
dug up, or ``make-legendary all`` when only perfection will do.
