Oh. That explains a lot :P My brain is so used to tools expecting the 
last argument to be the source file that I read the "<module_name>" and 
"[options]" part backwards and thought it expected the module name at 
the end. So... lesson learned, thank you for catching my silly mistake.

I ended up writing a small tool in C# that parsed the IMP markup and 
spit out incomplete LaTeX code. I used Mono to run the tool under Linux, 
then took the output and pasted it into a "skeleton" document I had 
written earlier. (The IMP markup for the AKJV module was really simple 
thanks to the simplicity of the module itself so it ended up being 
pretty easy.) If anyone's interested in the end result I got, I'm happy 
to share it. I think it came out pretty good.
