Until I have a reason to do otherwise, I'd like to keep the wrapper as
thin as possible. There should be no reason why you couldn't use
Mono.Addins directly.

The documentation is great I think. Certainly above that of OpenSim. :)

Code quality, I have no idea. Until it either brakes for us, or mono
implements the Addin found in the latest .net runtime, I don't see that
there is much choice.
