[bt-devel] making installation easier

I think the best way to link to Sword is statically linking. With shared 
linking problems like unresolved references may occur, if the user updates 
his shared Sword lib. Static linking is the best way.
We should change the SPEC file to include the Sword locale files additionally 
to the sword.conf file. So there's no need to install the Sword library 
itself.
Providing a basic RPM with some module is ok, too. This way BibleTime cvan be 
shipped together with the KJV as standard base package.


In 1.2 we should add the ability to create Personal commentarioes using the 
SWModule::crewate functions. So there's no need to download the personal 
commentary.
