Essentially (so far) the basic syntax is 
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/biblenew/passagestudy.jsp?key=<verseref>&mod=<module>

That's if you want to link to a specific verse of a specific module, but
uses a session, so you don't need to specify things that don't change.  
For example, once I'm at a verse, I can go to another verse in the same 
module by simple loading another key.

Commentaries work currently.  LD & GenBook modules do not, but they will 
eventually.

I think we're quite open to suggestions for what a GenBook interface ought 
to look like.

I suppose, but it depends on what you mean.  Installing on other
webservers won't be a problem.  Installing on a home PC for off-line use 
will certainly be possible, if you're willing to install Tomcat.  Using it 
like the command-line interface to Diatheke won't be possible--that's what 
Diatheke's for.
