[bt-devel] GnomeSword & BibleTime on PowerPC

[Fred Saalbach]

If bibletime is started from a terminal some debuging information will
display in the terminal while bibletime is in use.

I think there is also a debug option that can be applied to the make
command.  I am not sure how it work, but i seem to remember it came up
in the list discussion.  It needs to be involked when the make command
is run.

I like your screen shots.

Hope this helps
