I've been using an older revision of SWORD svn, which I integrated some 
years ago and I did not majorly change it afterwards.
The base is SVN Rev. 3873 from November 2021. I also backported a later 
commit, specifically the change from SVN Rev. 3898 (fix bug in non-icu 
stringmgr toupper).
Most recently I made some additional changes, so that the library would 
build for iOS, where I had encountered some build issues.

I just tried testing with the latest SVN trunk.
There, refreshing the eBible.org repo does not hang anymore, but simply 
fails. Here is the log output from the instrumentation I had added:

[DIAG refreshIndividualRemoteSource] Calling 
InstallMgr::refreshRemoteSource for 'eBible.org' ...

[DIAG remoteCopy] DONE src='mods.d.tar.gz' retVal=-4 elapsed=3286 ms
[DIAG SWORD refreshRemoteSource] Step 1 result: errorCode=-4 elapsed=3286 ms

When it comes to SWORD dependencies I'd like to avoid those for Android 
and iOS at least. So there, plain SWORD without additional dependencies 
would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Tobias
