[sword-devel] local cache of module text

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Daniel,

Please have a look at this IDL.  This is the minimum interface which I 
usually create when wrapping the SWORD engine.  It is full featured 
enough to use all the features of the engine which do no require 
extending functionality.  SWORDWeb uses this interface and our JNI 
bindings use this interface (Android bindings).

http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/bindings/corba/swordorb.idl

It is a very small set of classes and methods on those classes and 
shouldn't be hard to created C# bindings for these.

Hope this is useful,

Troy
