Yeah, I don't know how to make configure automatically patch the
sources if it finds 1.5.8 (or even how to issue a warning -- I find
autotools very difficult to use for anything I don't have a template
for). Sword doesn't seem to export a version number, so I couldn't use
#ifdefs in the code, and I wanted to preserve compatibility with 1.5.7
since that is what Sarge (among others) has.

If anyone knows a better solution, I'd be interested!

Regards,

Luke
