[Erich Dollansky]

Hi Mark,

you are a good observer. But this was just a typing error on my side. I
copied the output from two session into this e-mail at the end.

doraspberryalo is a script calling another script which finally sets up
the development environment matching the environment.

Here the same thing from an x86 machine:

MACHTYPE was set to 'otto' just like another variable was set to 'Otto'.

I know that I cannot use certain names in the environment but I did not
see a note regarding 'MachType'.
