1.7B2 readme.txt tweaks

Having just has to do an installation on a new (windows) pc, I found that some of the section 1.1 items could be tweaked. The following text block shows the suggested adjustments.  Lines starting '!!' are the suggested changes/additions; lines starting '!!!' are comments by me and should be discarded.

 1.1 Requirements
- OpenVPMS requires the following to be installed:

!!  - Java Run Time Environment (RTE) 1.6.x or higher
    See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
!!  Note that a change in naming conventions means that what used to be called version 1.7 is now
!!  just called 7, so what you need is, for example, jre-7u45-windows-x64.exe (meaning JRE version 7
!!  update 45 for a Windows 64 bit system)

  - MySQL 5.1.53 or higher
    See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html
!!! a more general URL is http://dev.mysql.com/downloads
!!  You should down load the MySQL Community Server 'Current Generally Available Release'
!!  If you are installing for a Windows system, you may find the the MySQL installer requires that
!!  you first install the Microsoft .Net Framework 4.  This is available from, for example,
!!  http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=17851


  - MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver
    See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html
!!!! this is fact goes to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j
!!  Note that you can in fact install the connector as part of the MySQL server install

  - Tomcat 6.0 or higher
    See http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
!!  For Windows you will want the 32/64 bit Windows service installer

Changed to:

 1.1 Requirements
- OpenVPMS requires the following to be installed:

  - Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 or higher
    The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is the minimum requirement.
    See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

  - MySQL 5.1.53 or higher
    See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html

    Download the MySQL Community Server 'Generally Available (GA) Release'

    On Windows, the MySQL installer may require that the Microsoft .Net
    Framework 4 be installed. This is available from:
        http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=17851

  - MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver
    See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html

    This may be included in the MySQL server installation.

  - Tomcat 6.0 or higher
    See http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi

    On Windows, select the 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer

I believe the majority of installs are running MySQL 5.1, so that is the version that is being developed for.

Regards,

-Tim
