We really appreciate your work. There are a number of things to consider, which we have been planning for when we support alternate versifications in 1.5.50 of our roadmap at:
http://crosswire.org/bugs/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10005&report=roadmap
1) we already have an apocrypha.h that has been generated
2) there needs to be a mechanism to turn apocrypha support on/off
3) 1 and 2 will be obsolete if we 'do this right' and provide dynamic versification systems, instead of static tables.
4) Conversion between keys of different versification systems
I think #3 is the largest part of making this happen and accepted into the engine. Though your work technically makes your custom modules work, it, in effect, makes all the current modules stop working-- probably at all without a reindex, and also by always showing apocryphal books in the versekey, when these are not desired by 98% of our users and not present in 98% of our current modules. This does not fix the real probably of allowing a module to have its own versification system and provide translation between others. That is the real work and time involved in this task, and why it is taking us so long to do it correct.
Please don't think we are unappreciative of your efforts. We'd love for you to consider helping on the dynamic versification system proposed above. If you join #sword on irc.freenode.net, we can discuss it further in technical detail.
Merry Christmas!!!

I generate new index scheme to cover all 5 books into the OT canon to
generate new chapter numbers and verse numbers, then change the files
canon.h and Versekey.cpp to include these books and recompile them. Then I change the abbr.conf file to match the new canon.h.
Finally I recompile vpl2mod to create new modules.
I need someone to test to find errors so I can fix it before release.

Could you describe the types of changes that you made (to the library and to BibleCS) and submit a patch file?

I just made a SWORD Windows executable that includes the 7 Catholic Books in it (Tobit, I,II Maccabees, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, and
Baruch).
However, I only recompile the Vulgate and DR modules for it. To make other modules, we need to recompile all of them. How can I load it for beta testing?
