[bt-devel] const issues again

[Greg Hellings]

Martin,

Troy and I batted around my BT patch on IRC quite a bit.  While my
initial patch allowed compilation with the SVN code (and *should* also
compile with the older version of SWORD), I've updated it to
(hopefully) support the dynamic versification updates that are in SVN.
 I don't want to rollback my installed SWORD version to check and make
sure it also compiles against 1.5.11 released.  Also, without
installing the dynamic KJV module, I won't be able to test that it
really works with dyn versification.  However, the crashing issue is
standing in the way of all of that testing.

It appears to be SWORD's fault.  Here's the backtrace from gdb:

My intention was just to provide a patch so that people who are
interested in tracking SWORD's HEAD can do so through BibleTime rather
than through ad-hoc command line tools.  I also wanted to have a
head-start on things when 1.5.12 or 1.6.0 or whatever the next SWORD
version is comes out.  Plus, I needed to build BibleTime to test its
capabilities for the filter updates I'm doing - so 3 reasons finally
forced my hand into making the updates and sending them in for safe
keeping for when the next release comes available.

Anyway, attached is the updated version of the patch with the changes
that Troy suggested.
