i don't think we should apply that patch. we should tackle the opensim 
grid--grid interconnect first, work out reasonable set up 
APIs/interfaces, then revisit the patch and adapt it to the OpenSim way 
of doing things.

for the time being that patch should stay on mantis. i'll try and cut a 
revised edition soon --- and if zha comes up with a new patch will put 
it on mantis as well.
