Before that the created SQL file was put into the
current working directory which was bound to fail
if the script was called from some non-writable
CWD. I adjusted the script to put the SQL file
into /tmp/gnumed/. During testing it worked just
fine because $0 was "./gm-adjust_db_settings.sh"
which expanded to /tmp/gnumed/./gm-adjust_db_settings.sh

However, after installation the script lives in
/usr/(s)bin/ and the path will expand to
/tmp/gnumed//usr/(s)bin/gm-adjust_db_settings.sh
which doesn't work. Hence the need for basename $0.
