[Opensim-dev] Update LibOMV

[Arthur Valadares]

Hi everyone,

The current version of OpenSim's libomv (r2362) has a bug in it's big
endian conversion methods that stops big endian machines from running
OpenSim. A patch was already sent to libomv and applied in r2439
successfully. I attempted to check if an update to that revision was
possible, but ended up spending an entire afternoon solving the new bugs
related to this update. Most of them happened because of the HttpServer
update.

Since I think most of the community would rather not see an update
that's going to mess things up more then it fixes, I wanted to suggest
patching the current version with the big endian fix for now, until we
feel we are ready (and have a good reason) to face the new libomv
changes. This creates a small confusion though, as OpenMetaverse.dll in
OpenSim will no longer be the original one compiled.

I would like some thoughts on this from everyone.

Thanks,
