[sword-devel] Bug in handling the DataPath of a config file

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hey Eeli,

A few quick comments:

conf["Install"]["DataPath"]

should return "" if no entry exists.  SWConfig is only an ini reading 
facility and has no logic about current directories or anything else.

Also, as far as I know, SWORD has always required a 'primary' DataPath 
and allows additional AugmentPaths.  I don't believe a sword.conf file 
will be used by the engine if there is no DataPath entry.

Hope this helps,

Troy
