[sword-devel] library request

Martin,
	This is already there.  The real signature of the method is:

virtual ListKey ParseVerseList (const char *buf, const char *defaultKey
=
        "Genesis 1:1", bool expandRange = false);

this will work with code like:

VerseKey vkey = "James 1:19";
ListKey lkey = vkey.ParseVerseList("20-22; 2:17", vkey, true);

this will return:

James 1:20-22
James 2:17

(expandRange true, above, is the difference between James 1:20-22, and
James 1:20)

PS.  Your "v.12" example, I believe, is problematic due to our roman
numeral parsing.  Not sure; it may work, but I don't think so right
now.  My guess is you'll get something like 5:12 (v = 5).
