[sword-devel] X11 install mgr question?

[Daniel Glassey]

I've changed the build system so that when you compile installmgr it will 
automatically build and use VCL in ../VCL

oh, and I've removed --enable-vcl from the configure options in sword as it 
is irrelevant to it

Please test this out.

Regards,
Daniel
