[Opensim-dev] script states

[Melanie]

We have never made an incompatible change to the script states 
format. I fully intend to not break it.That said, it doesn't belong 
in a database, IMO. Database storage makes it so much harder to 
autoclean and maintain them.
Script crossing is already implemented and has been for a while. 
They get transferred properly in that case.

Personally, I think they're fine just where they are.
