addvs doesn't handle this.  It probably wouldn't be too difficult to
check if a verse already contains data, then add to it and create a new
entry if so.  You would then want to clean out the excess entries, such
as by running mod2zmod on the module.

I guess you could download one of the Windows .zips from CrossWire and
replace the data.zip enclosed in it with one that uses your module's
files & directory structure.  We don't handle single file installers
because we have InstallMgr, which makes installation even easier.
