Continuing baby steps to a batch installer. At this point you can run the installer and it will parse the command line arguments.

currently the following arguments are accepted -h(database host) -u(database user) -p(database password) -d(database name) -t(table prefex) or -f(a response file).

The order of processing, defaults are set. if the response file is provided, the contained values are merged and finally any command line parameters are merged.
