[Opensim-dev] Implemented oar merge facility

[Chris Hart]

My test was with an 18Mb OAR file - took a little while to stream in as
it downloaded, but the server seemed happy enough to wait for it to
arrive, and restored all the contents successfully. Your mileage may
vary, but this is fantastic stuff - with OARs on the web and mergeable
OARs, that's a lot of flexibility for getting content from one place to
another.

awesome! is there a maximum filesize for this? I can imagine that 20mb+
oar 
files may cause problems? I would like to implement an oar template 
loader/saver into a webinterface. This would really make things easier.
Any 
suggestions how to make save-oar work in a centralized infrastructure?
