A recent change (r1820380) reminds me of an issue I have with the start scripts. I don't think it is a good idea to hardcode user-changeable values in the start scripts. The user will have to edit the script each time we ship a new version.

In tomcat we source in a env.sh (env.bat) from a known position in the filesystem where the user can set her own values. Those will override the default values from the start script.

Values I would like to see set in such a env.bat would include

 * JAVA_HOME/JRE_HOME
 * JMETER_OPTS
 * HEAP
 * JMETER_LANGUAGE
 * GC_ALGO
 * SYSTEM_PROPS
 * JVM_ARGS

What do you think?
