Sean Finan resolved CTAKES-164.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

User can use underscore character in place of dot character in environment variable names.  Lookup will proceed with dot first and only lookup via underscore when dot equivalent does not exist.  For instance, if the variable ctakes.umlspw exists then it is used.  If it does not exist but ctakes_umlspw exists then ctakes_umlspw is used.

> The setting of passwords etc. is allowable outside .xml descriptor files by setting an environment variable with the name of the value required in the xml file.  For instance, umls dictionary lookup required a password to be set in the .xml as ctakes.umlspw OR in the environment as ctakes.umlspw
> Unfortunately, setting a variable with a dot in the name is difficult in some shell environments.
> Allow the user to set variables in their environment with an underscore in place of the dot, such as ctakes_umlspw
