[kepler-dev] Running workflows from command-line

For the 1.0.0 release Dan Crawl did a lot of work on getting the
command-line version of Kepler to work from a bash script with and
without the GUI and with and without the hsql cache. Has the new
build broken this, or is it still a viable way of calling kepler from
the command line? If not, I think it should be a high priority fix so
we don't regress from the functionality we had for 1.0.0.
