[Opensim-dev] hypergrid status

[Diva Canto]

oh, and the other thing I would pull out of bin is all the data. So
assets
data (what is this?)
inventory
Regions

I would place this under a top directory called 'opensimdata' or 
similar. So ideally,
bin/
conf/
lib/
logs/
opensimdata/

I have done this data separation for the modules on the Encitra app. It 
works fine both on Windows and on Linux. But data is quite different 
from libs, so if Justin had trouble with mono understanding the 
separation between lib and bin, we should leave them together.

Incidentally, the 'opensimdata' directory plays a very similar role to 
httpdocs in apache. It's basically the data that's being served by default.
