[Opensim-dev] Proposal: OpenSim StyleCop compliance

[Melanie]

I'm really not comfortable with such a straitjacket. Those rules are 
pretty harsh, and i hate typing "this." all the time. Most of our 
code follows most of the sensible rules most of the time, the 
nonsensical ones, like this.instanceVar, I don't think we need. 
Also, Microsoft Corporation really should not dictate coding style.

+1 for discussion on style

-1 on StyleCop.
