[sword-devel] thml2gbf fix

[Chris Little]

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the report, but thml2gbf is no longer supported. I doesn't 
even exist in the source tree anymore. The utility to use for importing 
ThML files is xml2gbs (which also supports OSIS file import). Please let 
us know if you find any problems with xml2gbs, but this bug shouldn't 
exist in it since it was not based on the thml2gbf code.
