[sword-devel] Verses in GBF file don't appear for a new module

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Thanks Karl,
	There is also a gbfidx utility under sword/utilities/, but this is very 
old and may not work anymore.  If it does work, it should work directly 
from the gbf file and produce the files needed.

	-Troy.
