[Swift-user] Illegal character

[Greg Cross]

OSG sets dozens of environmental variables.  Normally this is done  
through sourcing the setup.*sh files in $VDT_LOCATION, but softenv  
does the same thing automatically with any "osg" macro.   
Unfortunately, many variables get set that would otherwise be  
unnecessary.  Unfortunately (and obviously) the result isn't always  
desirable, and so you either have to remove it like you did or have  
CLASSPATH and other variables defined/appended for swift (and  
anything else that conflicts).
