[Opensim-dev] More login refactoring

[Diva Canto]

Actually, it's more than modules pertaining to the User Services. The 
Grid Services too. Specifically, these two

            m_httpServer.AddXmlRPCHandler("map_block", 
XmlRpcMapBlockMethod);
            m_httpServer.AddXmlRPCHandler("search_for_region_by_name", 
XmlRpcSearchForRegionMethod);

Standalones may also want to provide these services, especially with 
better clients coming on the horizon.

The Hypergrid already has some of those modules for standalones, namely 
Inventory and Asset, so that inventory of standalone users can be 
accessed from the outside. But, really, this is not the right way of 
doing it, because it has a fair amount of code duplication with what's 
in the corresponding Servers.

Any ideas?
And apologies if this touches again on the heated discussion between MW 
and Melanie a couple of weeks ago...
