Is the Sword patch supposed to be required for BibleTime 1.6.2? I just
tried compiling it without the Sword patch, and it errors.

CSwordModuleInfo::buildIndex()':

That's fine if BibleTime 1.6.2 requires the Sword upgrade, but it
just wasn't clear to me. Or maybe there's something else wrong...

(I'm on Slackware 11.0, KDE 3.5.4, Sword 1.5.9, ...)
