[sword-devel] SWORD module installation bug

[Greg Hellings]

Just this week I was trying to install a few modules on a new (Mac) system.
Install went off flawlessly according to the installmgr tool, but nothing
was actually installed until I manually created the mods.d and modules
directory under the ~/.sword folder. The tool manually created the
~/.sword/InstallMgr folder, but not the target installation folders.

Not sure if these are symptoms of the same bug or not.
