[sword-devel] General Book Support

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi!
Tested it. It's not working, sorry! Even with Daniel's fix it works not in 
all cases.
If I run "treeindextest yoyo" it creates some data files. Only if the data 
files were created by treeindextest "genbooktest yoyo" works (starting 
without crash). Otherwise I get

./genbooktest yoyo
Error: 2: No such file or directory
Error: 2: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault

Thank you!
Joachim
