 The BAT files in OSGEO4w\bin are not all location independant. I want to
 set the program up to be location independant, so that I can make a
 portable version.

 List of files I need to change to make this work:
 qgis-dev.bat
 qgis.bat
 qgis-browser.bat
 grass64.bat
 qgis-dev-browser.bat

 They all initially start with
 set OSGEO4W_ROOT=<<My install location>>
 call %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\o4w_env.bat


 I changed them to start with
 call %~dp0\o4w_env.bat

 The bat files are now portable (afaik).

 Can we change the template files to reflect this change?

 Then I can package up an installer for distribution based on my local
 install. I'm sure there are issues with that, like the MSVC runtime
 installer, but I will work towards fixing those in the installer.
