[sword-devel] Alternate Versification question

Thanks Greg .. I've done that, and compared what comes with Sword to
what's listed here:
https://crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/versification/basicv11ns/

The only difference, as far as I was able to tell was canon_gnt.h does
not appear to ship with sword.  I assume it was pruned or included
with others.  Otherwise the contents appear the same.

I've found a verification here:
http://www.ccel.org/refsys/Bible.LXX.xml

I'm going to try to create a canon_lxx.h myself - but what use is
that?  If I successfully translate the CCEL LXX versification into a
canon_lxx.h file and submit it - does that actually help anything?
