Description

The scripts mvn.bat / mvnDebug.bat contain a lot of clutter to maintain compatibility with Win9x/ME and the "4NT shell".

Removing support for both will make the scripts a bit more maintainable and allow to reduce the duplication found in mvn.bat and mvnDebug.bat, which could also be renamed to *.cmd.
