[sword-devel] How are linked verses encoded in our modules?

In the olden days this was detected by incrementing to the next verse,
calling renderText(), and doing a string comparison between it and the
previous verse to determine if they were the same.
Nowadays there is a method on SWModule named "isLinked(SWKey*, SWKey*)". It
has slightly more complicated logic (it doesn't render out the text, so
it's not susceptible to differences in filter and option settings, etc) and
should be more efficient than just a string comparison. You can pass it two
verse keys and it will tell you if they both point to the same entry or
not. You need to keep two copies of two different keys, increment one, ask
the module if they're linked. If they are, then keep incrementing one until
you get to the next verse that isn't linked. If they are not, then set the
base key equal to the incremented key and render out the next verse.
