[Opensim-dev] Working config using the new connector architecture?

[diva at metaverseink.com]

Sorry, I can't parse your question "the Standalone config emulates the 
connector loading the server shell does in the standalone case". If you 
rephrase or add parenthesis, I might be able to understand and answer.

The simulator server already had a plugin mechanism -- region modules. 
We are using that plugin mechanism to load  the necessary resource 
service dlls into the simulator when it runs in standalone.

Why wouldn't you just use the connector mechanism in a standalone setup and simply load all the connectors into a single shell?
