[sword-devel] New OSIS chapter/verse checking utility

[Steven J. DeRose]

Great info, thanks David! I have code in there to cover the Psalm 
ascriptions, but I'll check vs. the sources you mention to be sure 
I've got them all covered. The Slavonic book order difference is new 
to me -- many thanks for pointing it out, I'll add an option for that.

Side note -- i'm presently hacking at some code to convert a bunch of 
online bibles to very regular OSIS files, which I'll then put online 
somewhere (Troy, might you want to host them?). Anybody up for 
helping with that or taking a look at results as I produce them? (I 
wrote osisCheck mostly to ensure that my converters don't screw 
anything up....).
