[Opensim-dev] Status of presence refactor?

[diva at metaverseink.com]

News: the SQLite connector is done and working in the presence-refactor 
branch.

UserAccount data is automatically migrated into the new table. People 
using SQLite-powered OpenSims will have to reset the passwords manually 
before they are able to login (with console command "reset user 
password"). This does not affect MySql-powered opensims, only SQLite.

Hopefully Melanie_t will finish Friends today.
We'll be ready to merge any time now.
