[bt-devel] Fresh installation SWORD_PATH

[Fred Saalbach]

I did run usrinst.sh at install. With this install /etc/sword.config was
not automatically created. This might be a problem with today's sword
cvs that will be fixed tomorrow.  

I think the no modules help needs to address this.  I will revise the
message some more to include your comments.  Setting the SWORD_PATH does
work.
