[sword-devel] Adding some new modules to the Bible collection

[Greg Hellings]

It is also worth noting that CrossWire doesn't undertake these types of
tasks and does not want to be the main source for such original texts.
However, if another organization does make a digital text available,
CrossWire likely would be able to create a module from that efforts in a
reproducible way.
