Request for review (S): 7099454 /bin/sh does not support syntax used in the src/os/posix/launcher/launcher.script shell script

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Bent,

ll 72-73 should be:

REL_MYDIR=`dirname "$0"`
MYDIR=`cd "${REL_MYDIR}" && pwd`

Otherwise it will not work if a name of the current directory contains 
spaces.
