[daisy] Daisy 1.5.1 -> Daisy 2.0 with sauce

[Marc Portier]

Caleb,

This sounds like the trailing-slash issue I've noticed recently on the
2.0-RC

See this subtle note that was added to the online install-docs [1]:
> Important: for Windows, the DAISY_HOME environment variable should not
> end on a backslash! (because the path is inserted in scripts between
> double quotes, and a backslash on the end would escape the double quote)
