The trunk is the upcoming new version (2.0) of MacSword.
This one you can use. There are refactored Sword wrapper classes in  
src/Sword which should work.
At least they do here and they also compile against Sword 1.5.11.
Both the trunk and the 1.4 branch use Sword 1.5.11 ATM.
But I think some work is needed in order to use this in iPhone because  
the sources have been refactored to use Objective-C 2.0, including the  
usage of garbage collection. It should run on iPhone but probably will  
leak memory as not all objects and memory will be released if there is  
no GC.
You need to put back in manual memory management. It isn't a big issue  
but needs some work.
