#25 Database Classpath Fails on Linux

[christian]

While I am on Windows able to do database inserts just by having webharvest_all_2.jar and mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-bin.jar in the same directory I am not on Linux.

Depends on Feature request #27 (https://sourceforge.net/p/web-harvest/feature-requests/27/)

I've fixed this bug in 2.1.0 release branch, however, it's temporary solution. When feature request #27 will be completed (it's matter of couple of days), you will be able to load database drivers from the arbitrary location (both Windows and Linux).
