I could have sworn I had tried other image modules with the .11 beta I
previously tried.  But evidently not.  Very odd -- I would at least have
wanted to see that the GnomeSword manual module worked in BibleCS, as a
marketing message of sorts, if nothing else.

No matter, I'll convert a mess of *.gif and *.png images to *.jpg soon.

I do wish PNG support would be reconsidered -- PNG definitely has a
brighter future.

That was my original intention, when I first offered the module.  I
no longer remember how or by whom it was changed to just "BAO".
