I'm assuming this is in SVN and not in 1.5.11. If so, we would have to  
wait until the next release. The sword.conf file would probably just  
be a stop-gap until the next release. I'd be happy to build with SVN  
but I think that the general BibleTime thoughts is that we just  
distribute versions against released SWORD.  The sword.conf would  
probably be a good enough idea for now.
