Fixed bug in create_vars.sh and moved variables to seperate file.

There was a bug in create_vars.sh that prevents the creation of a new baseline file. So the patch_set grows over time. This bug was fixed by correcting the typos.

I decided to move all variables to a seperate file and source them in the script create_vars.sh. You could find all varialbes needed in the file variables.txt.example. To use them just copy the file to variables.txt and adjust the values to meet your needs.
