With respect to making this change for Mesos, look to `mesos-appmaster.sh`
and `mesos-taskmanager.sh` which produce the classpath. Those scripts do
import `config.sh` but don't use `constructFlinkClassPath` at the moment,
related to inclusion of the Hadoop classpath I believe. But there's potential
for unification.
Note that the `lib` directory is scanned recursively; please verify the
behavior in that regard.
Overall this change seems like a hack attempting to mask a true conflict
(reportedly between the Flink and kinesis connector libs). Seems to me that
if ordering matters (and i hope it doesn't), placing Flink last would tend to
destabilize the system.
