Okay, this is my first attempt at writing an eclass, so comments are
welcome.
Okay, haven't heard anything back on this, everyone I've talked to
personally seems to think it's good to go. I've been busy with work
which is why I haven't pursued it further, but I'll be committing this
to the tree soon unless there's any technical objections.
Thanks guys.

First of all, here's the background. Sword modules are currently lumped
together in one general package (sword-modules), when it would be
simpler and easier to track them by having them as individual packages,
each in app-dict, with a package naming scheme of "sword-ModName"
format. ModName is the naming scheme used upstream to release modules
as, so creating ebuilds is going to be in the official releases a matter
of just inheriting the eclass and setting the SWORD_MODULE variable. The
eclass takes care of the rest, which is just unpacking the files and
dropping them in /usr/share/sword
Since upstream[1] doesn't have any proper versioning scheme (all
releases are ModName.zip, regardless of version), I'm going to manually
host a mirror on spaceparanoids[2] of the module with the version
suffixed on the filename. Alternatively, I could just put them in
distfiles-local. With the eclass, we can have ebuilds for each version
release.
Let me know what you guys thinks. Thanks.
