[daisy] Daisy 1.5.1 -> Daisy 2.0 with sauce

[Caleb Callaway]

Successfully made the jump from 1.5.1 to 2.0 on a Windows XP Home (urgh)
machine, and it is Neat! Had a couple issues that I thought would be good to
pass along, though...

First of all using the "set DAISY_HOME=" method of environment variables
Windows is not a good idea because the repo/wiki startup commands don't
return to the command prompt. This means you need to open second shell
window to continue the upgrad process, which necessitates defining the
variable again, which can lead to Much Confusion (I speak from personal
experience!) I think it's best to go to the Advanced section of your system
properties (Right-Click on My Computer and select Properties, or go through
the Control Panel) and rename your current DAISY_HOME to something else, and
then re-define it. 

Secondly, for reasons that completely mystify me, I had to edit the batch
files (for init and such) thusly:

	"%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java" %DAISY_JAVA_OPTIONS%
"-Ddaisy.home=%DAISY_HOME%"
org.outerj.daisy.tools.docidconvertor.DocIdConvertor %*

	Becomes

	"%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java" %DAISY_JAVA_OPTIONS%
-Ddaisy.home=%DAISY_HOME%
org.outerj.daisy.tools.docidconvertor.DocIdConvertor %*

The ONLY change is the lack of quotes around the "-Ddaisy.home=" section. I
can't imagine it making any difference, but %DAISY_HOME=C:\daisy-2.0 in my
environment...'tis strange.

Finally, the wikinit script generated a strange error:

So that's a bit of a puzzle too. I've also been unable to get the
Daisy-as-a-Service functionality working again--changing the paths in the
Windows registry didn't cut it. Haven't delved too deeply into that one,
though.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
