Sorry, but Right to left is _not_ supported. This is only possible with Qt3
in some months.

> Select display font and color.
> Display / hide Strong's numbers.
> Display / hide footnotes.
> Print to printer

The differences to 0.3 are basically:
-Printing
-Improved searchdialog (better searchanalysis, threading, percentage
display, better scope chooser)
-Parallel display of multiple translations
-Unicode support (at least partly)
-better documentation
Is this ok?
