permgen.sh and setenv.sh contain bash-isms that prevent the startup script (startup.sh) from working properly on my Solaris machine. My solaris machine has a vanilla Bourne shell as /bin/sh. This means the bash-isms don't work, I get shell syntax errors when running startup.sh. When I corrected these errors the problems went away and I now have a working JIRA on solaris. Here's what I changed:

1) in permgen.sh change the double square brackets to single square brackets
2) in setenv.sh change the double equals to a single equals
