[Opensim-dev] so many dll's, so little time

[Stefan Andersson]

I think we should use 'vendor branches' 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s05.html
 
I've already done a prototype .build that first builds a target consisting of the native dlls, then the main opensim build.
 
Such a target can be very specific and hand-crafted; on vs we'd just make prebuild include a couple of non-generated vs projects (also hand-crafted and not necessarily c#) maybe in a run-on-the-side solution.
 
That would be win-win for all environments, I'd say.
