[sword-devel] Ubuntu 12.04 ....

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Not disputing any of this, but I'm curious why BT can't compile against 
SVN.  I don't believe we've intentionally made any API interface changes 
in a while, and we try our hardest to be backward compatible.  If you 
let me know, I can have a look at what we broke.
