[sword-devel] Module Installation

Hi,

I'm adding a module downloader to JSword, and not being totally sure how 
to get it to work.

The current algorithm goes like this:

- download "mods.d.tar.gz" from the given directory
- unpack, and select a module
- from the config file for a module pick the DataPath element
- download all the files from that directory (without recursing
   down the tree) into a directory of the same name within your
   sword modules tree.

However this fails because many of the DataPath elements point off into 
space somewhere.

Does anyone know the right algorithm?

Thanks,

Joe.
