Hi all, 

I changed a number of UI strings. Please compile cvs and test it.
Basic changes:

Main Index - Bookshelf
Info Display - Mag(nifying glass)
Module - Work (of Literature)
Installation source - Library
Installation target - Bookshelf path
MDI Area, Workspace - Desk
Display window - Read window
Sword configuration dialog - Bookshelf Manager

The user transfers "works" from a "library" (CD, Internet) to his "bookshelf", 
"reads" them on his "desk" with the "mag", and saves and restores the layout 
of his "desk". "Default modules" are now "Standard works". The "Sword" 
section in the optionsdialog is now called "Desk".

Joachim, please examine the "Bookshelf manager". Are the UI terms consistent, 
and will people understand them?

The purpose of these pretty radical changes is to make working with BibleTime 
much more intuitive and simple for computer newbies. Developers need to be 
aware of this as the terms in the sourcecode (class names, identifiers etc.) 
are different from the UI terms! Please comment.
