[bt-devel] missing feature - print a module

I agree that BibleTime is missing better export possibilities. But if we 
agree to add them we should discuss about the best way to do this.

I think this would some improvements to our printing system and some 
refinements to the printing styles. If we decide to implement this feature we 
should do it right - a more general approach. IMHO we should wait with this 
until 1.2, because it'll introduce bugs, work and new features.
