[sword-devel] flashcards mobile

[Troy A. Griffitts]

I've updated the build script to split lessons sets into parts based on 
a max number of words in a lesson set.

It seems most phones can handle about 200 words so this is what the max 
is defined at currently.  I hope for us to update it further to have an 
additional dimension, phone capacity, which will regenerate all packages 
for each defined phone capacity, so in the end we will end up with 
something like:
Greek Mounce - High Capacity Phones
  mounce.jar
Greek Mounce - Medium Capacity Phones
  mounce.1.jar
  mounce.2.jar
Greek Mounce - Low Capacity Phones
  mounce.1.jar
  mounce.2.jar
  mounce.3.jar
  mounce.4.jar

When downloading Google's gmail MIDLet, they autodetect my phone class. 
  I have no idea how we might do this.  Any ideas?  The current lessons 
(all 200 words max) are at the usual place:
