Sounds reasonable.

This one looks like it would be trivial to update the existing package, 
if only the source tarball for bibledit-3.5 would actually build!  It 
could be just me...

Looks like it is looking for a package called enchant, related to spell 
checking, but the library concerned is really in a package called 
libenchant1c2a (on Ubuntu Intrepid, at least).  I'll probably patch the 
./configure script if I can't find a better way to get past that (but 
I'm doing this in my lunch time at work... so it might have to wait 
until I get home if it is not really simple).

The current upstream source tarball seems to be at 
http://nongnu.askapache.com/bibledit/source/bibledit-3.5.tar.gz , so if 
anyone else gets further with this than I am doing... go for it (and 
inform the list, please!).

Jonathan
