I agree.  Especially given the difficulties in having two versions of 
libsword coexist on one system, maintaining and packaging two versions 
seems like much work for little gain.

What will it take to get these patches into the upstream codebase?

Are the patches that BPBible needs in order to function already in the 
upstream (Crosswire) development codebase, just not yet released?  Or 
have they not been integrated/accepted into the main code tree at all so 
far?  If the patches are applied, do they break any other applications 
that use the libraries?
