bin/nutch issue - on Mac OS X

[Erik Hatcher <er...@ehatchersolutions.com>]

I'm getting "expr: syntax error" when running all bin/nutch  
commands.  It comes from this line:

     if expr match `uname` 'CYGWIN*' > /dev/null; then

should this be modified to be this instead:

     if expr `uname` : 'CYGWIN*' > /dev/null; then

That works for me, but I'm not running Cygwin.  For those running  
Cygwin, could you try this change to see if it works for you and let  
me know?

Thanks,
     Erik
