Thank you!

Ok, but then we have to rename directories or disable automatic Makefile.am  
creation in KDevelop.

I think this is not so good. We extended the VerseKey and SWKey objects, 
maybe I commit some parts to the CVS (e.g. an additional "const char* 
VerseKey::Book()" to get a book as texts string). It works very well and I 
see no reason to revert it.
The module-issue was a little bit different: We have not extended it with 
useful functions but made a less complex framework for it which is not good 
with inheritance.

We don't have a current key! Where have you seen it?

Not yet.

Oh!
This is really bad!
Do you bought the texts on CD? How do you like this simple program on the CD?
