I've temporarily augmented our Finney genbook module with an image for testing (sorry Chris for temporarily corrupting a module, but the currently released installmgr code shouldn't download the extra subdirectory)
Quickest access to the engine code is with the commandline installmgr utility under sword/utilities/installmgr, and you can test with a command like:
./installmgr -i #to initialize installmgr in case you've never used it before
./installmgr -ri crosswire Finney #to download and install the Finney module from crosswire
check for finney datapath directory and new image subdirectory installed in your current module-set.
./installmgr -u Finney #uninstall Finney and be sure we've cleaned up all datafiles, including image subdirectory.
If you're calling installmgr engine code directory from your application, the API has changed slightly:
Names have been changed to better reflect our standard naming conventions, and make more sense.
The 2 status reporting virtual methods have been moved from InstallMgr class to a new StatusReporter class, and the InstallMgr constructor takes an instance of your subclassed StatusReporter.
There is also a new mechanism to provide your own FTP tranport code, in case you don't have CURL on your machine. There is a new base class: FTPTransport that implements basic FTP functions and exposes a single virtual method to override for subclasses:
char FTPTransport::getURL(const char *destPath, const char *sourceURL);
if you override this method and provide your own implementation to retrieve sourceURL and save it to destPath, then you can supply this subclass to the InstallMgr by overriding:
FTPTransport *InstallMgr::createFTPTransport(const char *host, StatusReporter *statusReporter);
The default implementation returns our CURL or FTPLib subclass of FTPTransport (I don't think FTPLib is completely functional yet:
#ifdef CURLAVAILABLE return new CURLFTPTransport(host, statusReporter); #else return new FTPLibFTPTransport(host, statusReporter); #endif
There have been some other useful methods added around the API recently to support this and other things, you might check the ChangeLog or unaptly named sword-cvs archives for svn checkins:

PS. I'm excited about and look hopefully toward all the desires to help!!!
