FS#1717 - small fix in startup script

The current startup script fails when called through symbolic link due to string:

DIR=${0%/*}

It is better to change it to:

DIR=$(dirname -- $(readlink -f -- $0))

readlink has other problems (non-standard, see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/028)

Using PWD would very likely break existing use cases.

For now, we're moving to BASH_SOURCE which is also not perfect but seems to cover most use cases and assures backwards compatibility.

Feel free to comment..
