Ok, do it if Swords architecture doesn't rely on it.

I use the class for the description of the bookmarks. We still use the old 
dialog for the cipher key and the group properties, because it's fitting for 
this purpose.

I implemented the copy constructors but I was unable to get a copy of the 
module.
Imagine this: 
Sword creates objects like this: "SWModule* module = new RawText(...)". The 
problem is, that I don't know how to copy the SWModule to have the 
propertioes of the right implementation-class (SWModule* copy = new 
SWModule(*module) will not work, because RawText has to be copied.) .
That's why I have not implemented it.
