[Opensim-dev] Module/Plugin Loading

[Michael Wright]

Just to confirm what I mean, if we could move the PluginLoader to its own project, then it could be referenced by the application layer (the opensim.exe project) and not be a requirement of the actual core.

And all the talk of allowing other methods of "loading" addins is pointless, if Mono.addins is required by the core anyway.

If this patch causes no regressions over some amount of time, should we
consider using it to replace all the ad-hoc loading?

Cheers,
