  Maybe I was not clear enough my bibletime rpm's make thier own
  sword.conf. So this is already taken care of.

We should try to set things up so that all users are encoraged to put
sword files in the same place, so that it won't matter is a
user installs some modules with RPM and others from the zip file.  It
might be the thing to do would be to recommend that if
bibletime is installed from RPM that the first module be installed from
an RPM to set up the directory structure.
