[sword-devel] Added new function to the Sword library: SWMgr::Version()

Alternative suggestion:
-provide a char* version() returning whatever you like
-provide a bool compareVersionStrings(char* version1, char* version2)
The SWMgr version can then be compared against the value in the .conf file.

Sword can handle the version computing internally.
