[Opensim-dev] SL lego

[Gryc Ueusp]

I agree that having a library of parts with which to build things would be 
quite cool, the client needs to be able to support everything a modern 
physics engine (ODE) supports like axels, joints, proper linking hierarchy, 
etc.  If OpenSim gained that, it'd definitely be a good step towards being 
able to decently simulate something approaching reality.
