Improve workflow run configuration (ModelRunner.txt)

Erwin wrote in an email sent today:

With a trial by Andy for the Passerelle vanilla workbench on Linux 64 bit, I 
discovered another fragility with that ModelRunner.txt approach.
When building for the different destination platforms (win32, win64, 
linux32&64, mac etc), this launch configuration must also be specialized per 
target platform to ensure that the right platform-specific fragments of swt, 
filesystem etc.

With the move to automated builds on Hudson, Tycho etc at our place, this step 
is apparently not working right now. SO I will prepare manual rcp product 
builds again for now.

But I was wondering how you handle this in DAWN. Is Buckminster or some other 
thing in your tool chain doing this automatically?
Or do you only deliver for one platform?

Anyway, the conclusion for me is that this ModerlRunner.txt thing is something 
we have to look at, to make it more flexible.
Both for layering (vanilla vs DAWN) and for target platforms...

With the agreement of Erwin I'll commit new versions of ModelRunner.txt and 
ModelRunner.launch which enables the latest version of Passerelle to be used in 
DAWN.

I have created some platform-specific fragments for the ModelRunner.txt thing, 
for macosx, linux 32&64 bit, windows 32&64 bit.
So the ModelRunner.tx is no longer in the 
com.isencia.passerelle.workbench.model.editor.ui bundle, but dedicated 
ModelRunner.txt files are in the separate fragments.
The product build includes these fragments and is then able to use the right 
fragment per target system platform.
I have tried the win 32 & 64 bit versions already. Before I had the same error 
as Andy saw. THis is resolved now.

I propose that you also create one or more fragments for DAWN's ModelRunners, 
and refer to these in your product builds.

In this way, we resolved both issues : platform-specific stuff and layering of 
DAWN vs Passerelle vanilla.
