Hm, adding such a module seems a good idea:

1. Faster than searching.

2. We can put link to Robinson/Packard codes near verse numbers in such a
module, it will make looking of a particular word form simpler (faster for
a user).

BUT: We need to choose whether to use Byz (Byz module) or NestleAland (see
WHNU module info) for strong numbers. These differ in these modules.
(AFAIK, KJV is more near to a translation of Byz than to a translation of
NestleAland).

I vote for NestleAland. (Well, nothing prevent creation of two modules for
both Byz and NestleAland.)

Creation of such a module is rather simple... I even have ready to use
scripts which make it even simpler. But I'm not going to do this because of
some problems I have this month :-( If somebody indeed much wants that I
would do this work, mail me privately, please, and I will explain how he
can help (not a hard big work).
