[sword-devel] New website - installation instructions

[Troy A. Griffitts]

The Windows install for modules looks for where BibleCS is installed and 
unzips the module there.

BibleDesktop supports this (as I think other frontends would support 
this if our installer sets SWORD_HOME).

I don't want to confuse the majority of our current Windows users which 
either use BibleCS or BibleDesktop.  The instructions should say to use 
the built-in app installer, or otherwise download the Windows package 
and install it.
