[sword-devel] Second versions, Scottish Metric Psalter

Ok, this is my interrim solution which I plan. I think it should work

I will create a double module - both confs in one file, second version
in the second (sub)module. Then I will create reference links from one
to the other at the header of each psalm with two versions. And back
again.
