[sword-devel] Module upload: Shona

[Michael H]

The aggregation into a large USFM file is 1 command line (cat .\*\*.dat >
shona.sfm) .

Splitting that into standard book files is 1 more command (csplit /\\id /
shona.sfm) .

You need to check each \c tag has it's own line , incase the chapter files
end abnormally without a final newline/return.

However, you end up with files numbered 001.dat, 002.dat  that then need to
be renamed. still trivial, but measured in minutes not seconds.
