  make spoiler.html is the more proper command in this case.

  yes - it appears the spoiler generation was never updated for the new spell logic.

  make archive is meant to pack up all the generated data into a tar archive. 
If you haven't made the files first, via the make spoiler.html, it won't have 
the stuff to pack up.

  I just tried it - there were some errors generating some of the images, but 
this appered to be more a problem with perhaps the pngtopnm program not liking 
the original files, vs path problem.
