[bt-devel] making installation easier

[Martin Gruner]

On sword-devel it was mentioned, that the installation process of 
sword/bibletime/modules is too complicated on linux.

Do you have any ideas on how to change this?

A very unfinished proposal:
We could create a bibletime-sword module. It contains the sword lib and 
necessary additional files like sword.conf and the locale stuff. Users only 
need to install it if they have not installed sword already. Sword will be 
linked in dynamically (I think this is a lot more cleaner approach how to 
handle libaries). This package could even contain small example modules.
The bad side is that we'd need to maintain this. 
Maybe it would be enough to create a sword rpm which takes care of all this 
and the sword.conf file as well. Anyway we should stop compiling sword in 
statically, this makes the whole issue more complicated, because users need 
to install the sword datafiles as well.
