[sword-devel] Behavior of SWModule::getConfigEntry in case of multiple entries with same key

[Tobias Klein]

Hi Troy, Peter,

Thank you! My usecase is to list the options available for one 
particular (bible translation) module.

@Troy: The solution you suggested is probably what I need. Or are there 
better solutions based on my usecase mentioned above?

Best regards,
Tobias
