[sword-devel] Compile Options (fwd)

[Daniel Glassey]

There's also the patch I sent way back in January that was autoconf 
only (no changes needed to the makefiles) - it's needed for it to 
build on other debian architectures. Once I've made the debian 
package for 1.5.2 I'll post the new patch. Note, it requires 
practically NO changes except for a couple of files added. If I can 
get to my computer (it's currently buried while work is done in 
house) I'll build from the source in crosswire/.../alpha tonight.
