I disabled examples and the build succeeded.

I'm more than a little surprised that the generated swversion.h has a 
/lower/ version stamp than what came in via git clone.

It appears to work; I reinstalled some modules from Xiphos repo and 
watched the web server log, and also a couple from Crosswire.

However this will induce a significant change to the mod.mgr, because 
for 25 years it has managed only local directory sources (intended for 
e.g. cdrom-provided content) and FTP/HTTP/HTTPS sources in the 
Add/Remove/Load Standard panel, and consequently is losing all the 
xyzPackagePreference entries when adding or deleting an entry of my own. 
So we will have to make a Xiphos update to fix this before the next 
Sword release.

There is no HTTPS on ftp.xiphos.org. Port 443 is ... otherwise occupied, 
when it is occupied at all.

- Are you aware that, in the Windows build (that Greg provides in the 
process of building Sword for Xiphos), lucene indexing fails for locked 
modules <https://github.com/crosswire/xiphos/issues/1280>?
- Have you ever looked at the peculiar problem of lucene search failing 
randomly when there is not an arbitrary trailing space
