Toolpack Multi system support
Toolpack installer now allows to have more than one setup being configured on the same host.
To enable this feature, the directory tree changed a little, here's what it looks like now: /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/service /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/2.4/apps /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/2.4/licenses /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/2.4
Note: 12358 was added in the setup path.
Each setup is installed as a service of the Operating System, under the following name: tbtoolpack_${[[System_Id|SystemId]]} -> ie: tbtoolpack_12358
Each service instance can be managed individually using "tbtoolpack" command. tbtoolpack start 12358 tbtoolpack stop 12390
Note: If no SystemId is given, the tbtoolpack will prompt the user to select one among the installed one.
