I did try building sword with cmake on OS X and it seemed to work, as did
the bindings. But I didn't ever get round to running with it. I'm doing that
now, and it appears that  there are problems with it with some of the
VerseKey added methods like bookName
(i.e.
>>> vk = Sword.VerseKey()
>>> vk.bookName(2, 2)
b is null for 4536913?!?
)

Could this be because the python version is linking against a libsword 1.6.1
dylib (which was already there from a previous compilation without cmake)
and there have been changes in the .h files which it was including when
building the swig which break things (i.e. no ABI compatibility with 1.6.1)?
That's all I can think of. I haven't got any time to look at it at the
moment really.

Currently trying to use the cmake checked into sword's trunk gives this
error:
[  3%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/buildtest.dir/buildtest.cpp.o
Linking CXX executable buildtest
[  3%] Built target buildtest
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../sword', needed by
`CMakeFiles/pythonswig'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/pythonswig.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

God Bless,
Ben
