Indexing only needs to be done once, unless of course, an updated
module is released. It would suit me very well to have this done via
the packaging system at install time.

I cannot see any circumstance where user contributed modules would be
created or maintained anywhere other than ~/.sword.

Actually, the resulting modules can be read by any Sword frontend, so
it doesn't make sense to put them in ~/.gnomesword. At the moment,
only GS has the capability to write to them, but it is possible that
will change.
