Inquiring (newbie) minds want to know:
* Does internationalization work with the windoze version of Sword?

The reason I ask:
I'm trying to rebuild diatheke and ActiveDiatheke from "scratch", including
the ICU versions. This involves libsword.icu and libsword6icu.lib

There seem to be multiple borland project files for the libraries. Most
won't compile, so I suppose they are either flawed, or I don't know what I'm
doing (quite likely). It troubles me that the only .bpr's that work for ICU
are in a directory named "AS_IS". Once I get libsword6icu.lib to build, I'm
having nothing but grief trying to build the ICU version of diatheke.

Does internationalization work with the windoze version? Should I "cease and
desist" trying to build the "Win32 ICU Release" version? Can you tell what
I'm doing wrong?

* Is there a way to let the Borland C++Builder know to use the ICU
configuration? I know how to do this with VisualStudio, but only see options
for "release" and "debug" for C++Builder? The compiler complains about
unresolved link problems.

* Am I missing (or not seeing) a .bpr that is specifically for the ICU
version of diatheke?

* Do you have to build libsword6icu.lib with Borland C++Builder 6.0, and
then use VisualC++ to build the ICU version of diatheke.exe?
