[sword-devel] Bindings cleanups and others

[Greg Hellings]

If you're building with CMake you add the flag -DSWORD_BINDINGS="Perl"
to build the Perl bindings. Then after issuing your standard make
command you'll be prompted somewhere in the output with the next step.
After installing SWORD with a sudo make install you need to cd into
bindings/swig/perl and do a 'sudo make install' from there as well.

It's not quite as clean as it should be, but it works at present.
Report any problems you have with it.
