[sword-devel] Gill, Keil & Delitzsch commentaries?

[Chris Little]

Not the OLB version. They claim their text is "modernized". I don't know 
what that means, but I suspect it means I don't want to read it.

We might be able to compare it to an independent source floating out 
there to find out what has been changed. Then we could create (or, if 
need be, reconstruct) a module based on the original text.
