[Opensim-dev] pruning reference servers in core

[MW]

If you can provide the details of those two handlers that need adding to the old servers, I can have a go at implementing them; dependent on how much work it involves.

I'm fine with waiting until September before pruning reference 
implementations down to one of each. But someone needs to give love to 
Grid.Inventory, because I don't have time for loving so many servers :-)

The current improvement I'm doing right now (eliminating the need to 
pass the entire inventory around) only works for the new-style inventory 
service. It can easily be made to work for the old one. Whoever wants 
Grid.Inventory to support the simulators' [much more reasonable] needs 
should make the necessary improvements to it. I'll be happy to explain 
what the server needs to do -- 2 additional service handlers. I still 
haven't pushed my local commits, and I can wait a little bit for a 
Grid.InventoryServer lover to step up and volunteer. But I don't think 
it's reasonable to hold this improvement until September; I already have 
it, and it's almost ready to be pushed out to grids out there. Passing 
thousands of inventory items upon region crossings and TPs is probably 
one of the worst things in OpenSim right now, and needs fixing.
