[Halld-offline] Build Scripts 3.1 [Re: Changing BMS_OSNAME]

[Mark Ito]

Folks,

Elton discovered a bug in the change_bms_osname.sh script. The shebang 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)> was malformed! That went 
unnoticed during testing. It would have affected you if you are running 
the tcsh shell.

The problem is fixed in Build Scripts 3.1 
<https://github.com/JeffersonLab/build_scripts/releases/tag/3.1> which 
is now installed at JLab.
