[daisy] fixing merlin startup script on solaris

[Jorg Heymans]

Hi,

As mentioned here [1] and [2] , the startup script for merlin does not work
on solaris by default (you get a 'can't find jarfile' error)

Bruno said back then that the fix should be applied to the merlin project
rather than here. Now that merlin seems to have become metro i don't know if
this is still relevant.

Anyway, [3] is what i had to do to get it to work, in case this is useful
for others.

In any case, bash supports both syntaxes so perhaps the more conservative
construct could be made default.

-bash-3.00$ SOME=THING;export SOME; echo $SOME
THING
-bash-3.00$ export SOME=ANOTHERTHING; echo $SOME
ANOTHERTHING
-bash-3.00$ sh
$ export SOME=OOPS; echo $SOME
SOME=OOPS: is not an identifier
$ SOME=AAAH; export SOME; echo $SOME
AAAH


Regards,
Jorg
