[Squirrel-sql-develop] squirrel-sql.sh suggestion ..

[Henner Z. <HZ...@me...>]

Hi,
On unix systems, squirrel would probably be installed in an layout like
this
---
  /usr/bin/squirrel
  /usr/share/squirrel/lib
           ...       /plugins
---

Currently, the shellscript assumes, that it is installed in the
same directory; worse, it requires to be started in the same directory
the shellscript resides in, because it looks in relative paths.

So I'd like to suggest two things
 1)
  create a layout in dist of the form
    bin/squirrel
    share/squirrel/...
  that can be moved everywhere by the system administrator (usually /usr,
  /usr/local or /opt)

 2) make the shellscript independent from where it was called. This can
    simply be done by setting a variable like
    SQUIRREL_HOME=`dirname $0`/../share/squirrel
    .. and set the rest accordingly.


See attached shellscript.

Keep up the good work!
