        Key: JAMES-250

Environment: Windows 2000 Pro v5.00.2195; jdk 1.4.2_02-b03

Description:
if you install James under a "bin" directory, e.g. in C:\bin\james-2.1.3, the run.bat file fails to start because the trick with the ": operator" mis-calculates the PHOENIX_HOME.

This can be fixed by adding some crumbs to the env variable when figuring out PHOENIX_HOME. Example below is how I fixed it by adding the "*" crumb. Now I can run nicely under a "\bin" directory. A directory called "\bin\*" is an impossibility, so it avoids this type of problem altogether.

{sorry, this diff is against a local copy I have, since I can't get my line terminators right working against the james cvs repo, but you should get the idea. Issue is still in the current HEAD}
