The error handling (diatheke/libsword)

Hello,

I built the sword on windows with cmake&MSVC&vcpkg without clucene (vcpkg
does not offer it and I was not able to compile out of box. It seems it has
not been developed actively  for 14 years).

I found some unexpected behaviours/messages from user perspective:

   1. f:\Projects\Community\sword\build.msvc\utilities\Release\mkfastmod.exe
   KJV cause "error: KJV does not support a search framework" which for me
   indicate problem with module, but IMO problem is that mkfastmod is without
   clucene support. When I use mkfastmod.exe from xiphos, the index is created
   without problem.
   2. f:\Projects\Community\sword\build.msvc\utilities\diatheke\Release\diatheke.exe
   -s lucene -b KJV -k "lemma:G1344"
   I got output: Entries containing "lemma:G1344"-- none (KJV). IMO proper
   output would be message that libsword was build without clucene, so  option
   "attribute" should be used....
   3. f:\Projects\Community\sword\build.msvc\utilities\diatheke\Release\diatheke.exe
   -b KJV -s attribute -k "Word//Lemma./G1344/" produces
   Entries containing "Word//Lemma./G1344/"-- Matthew 11:19Matthew 12:37 ;
   Luke 7:29 ; Luke 7:35 ; Luke 10:29 ; Luke 16:15 ; Luke 18:14 ; Acts 13:39 ;
   Romans 2:13 ; Romans 3:4 ; Romans 3:20 ; Romans 3:24 ; Romans 3:26 ; Romans

   Galatians 3:24 ; Galatians 5:4 ; I Timothy 3:16 ; Titus 3:7 ; James 2:21 ;
   James 2:24 ; James 2:25 ; Revelation of John 22:11 ;  -- 36 matches total
   (KJV)
   after first reference there is missing field separator (" ; ")
   4. When I run search with clucene: "F:\Program
   Files\Crosswire\xiphos\bin\diatheke.exe" -b KJV -s lucene -k "lemma:G1344"
   I got unsorted results:
   Entries containing "lemma:G1344"-- Romans 8:30Romans 3:28 ; Romans 6:7 ;
   Galatians 2:16 ; Acts 13:39 ; Romans 3:20 ; Romans 5:9 ; I Corinthians 4:4
   ; James 2:25 ; Luke 7:35 ; Romans 8:33 ; Matthew 12:37 ; Romans 3:24 ;
   Romans 3:30 ; Romans 4:2 ; Galatians 3:24 ; Galatians 5:4 ; Titus 3:7 ;
   James 2:24 ; Luke 7:29 ; Luke 10:29 ; Romans 2:13 ; Romans 3:26 ; Romans
   4:5 ; Romans 5:1 ; Galatians 2:17 ; Galatians 3:11 ; James 2:21 ;
   Revelation of John 22:11 ; Matthew 11:19 ; Luke 16:15 ; Luke 18:14 ; Romans
   3:4 ; I Corinthians 6:11 ; Galatians 3:8 ; I Timothy 3:16 ;  -- 36 matches
   total (KJV)
   This is not an error, but is it possible to have sorted results as for
   "attribute" search?
   5. When I run a search in a non-existing module (e.g. diatheke.exe -b
   KJVS -s lucene -k "lemma:G1344") there is no output. IMO it would better if
   there is message like "Module KJVS not found"

Anyway: thank you very much for your work. I hope this suggestion helps to
improve The Sword project.

God bless you,

Zdenko
