I just added a message into the Bookshelf Manager source area if the 
source list is empty. It doesn't help if you try to add a new one 
manually, but at least you have then messed up your config yourself 
before that and after you have already used the Sword install manager :)

Yes, there are more situations where the permissions should be checked. 
It's quite annoying to do something and wonder why nothing happened 
(like installing new modules).
