[Opensim-dev] Shaping the user services

[Melanie]

In this new architecture, things are broken up into micro-units in a 
very unixish way. Do one thing, and do it well.

If profile is wanted, a profile service and profile server are the 
way to go, not bundling it with user services.

And, in the end, the profile module already is a profile service and 
server.
