I've had success building on Win32 in MSVC and on Ubuntu 13.04 via 
autotools. I'll fire up an OS X box and try it out there as well, but 
don't anticipate any problems.

If you care about having up to date Borland C++ Builder projects, those 
are probably quite out of date.

Resolution of this issue should be treated as a release blocker. I 
really don't want to have to do any sort of modification to the v11n 
definition after release, should such modification be necessary.

At present, the Rahlfs v11n system has the following books (among others):

Josh
JoshA
JudgB
Judg
Tob
TobS
Sus
SusTh
Dan
DanTh
Bel
BelTh

If I understand correctly, you'd like most of these to have name aliases:

Josh/JoshB
JoshA/JoshAlt
JudgB/JudgAlt
Judg/JudgA
Tob
TobS/TobAlt
Sus
SusTh/SusAlt
Dan
DanTh/DanAlt
Bel
BelTh/BelAlt

Or maybe you'd exclude Theodotion's Daniel from the set.


I'm not sure what this gains us, but I don't see any real problem with 
it. Do you envision simply adding the additional names to the 
canon_abbrevs.h list of abbreviations? It's a quick & simple way of 
implementing this, but would result in every Bible with an OT returning 
results for keys like JoshB.1.1.
