[Opensim-dev] Inteop patch Mantis#1696

[James Stallings II]

Or, we might simply apply the patch to some test regions outside of svn and
see how it flies. To me, that qualifies as a test.

Personally, I think we're out on a bit of a limb here, as several of us have
already personally commited to testing this patch. If it were going to cause
such angst at this stage of the process, it would have been nice to know
there were such reservations before that happened.

Cheers,
James
