0. Protecting spaces in GLI launch argument list in webswing.config, as these looked wrong in the webswing log files, even though GLI webswing appeared to work. Now it works too and the arguments look right (not broken at spaces). 1. Webswing needs extra work after all when there are spaces in the GS3 installation path (or rather, the path to whichever java GS3 finds). Implemented Dr Bainbridge's 2nd solution: put the start_java.bat/sh scripts (now called gs_webswing_start_java.bat/sh) into the publicly accessible system temp location as it won't have spaces in its filepath. 2. Bringing the webswing.config.applet and webswing.config.application files up to speed with webswing.config after this year's changes to GLI's launch arguments and option names.
