Indeed.  I don't know exactly what was done, so I'm not giving away
inside information here.  But do remember that the project to integrate
Havok 4 into SL (upgrading from Havok 2) took many months, first of
development, then of testing.  At least one Linden (Andrew) was working
near-full-time on the Havok 4 project for quite some time.  It's not a
plug-and-play situation.
