[Opensim-dev] hypergrid status

[Chris Hart]

I'd love to see things split out a little from bin - there's so many
files in there it is a little unwieldy, but I can't say how tricky that
would be to achieve under mono, etc. Otherwise, I'm all in favour of
moving logs, config and libs if possible.

Yeah, I agree.

Easier said than done though.  I looked into moving libs into lib/ some
time ago for various reasons, but it got really 
awkward to get .net/mono/mono-addins, etc. satisfied with the results.

But I think should happen for conf/ and logs/.   Personally, I would
migrate to bin/conf and bin/logs for now, but 
perhaps that's just a somewhat conservative desire not to confuse people
too much.
