The Windows build failure occurs because of patch 61a63ff.  It is characterized by the error in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express

"C:\OPENSIM_GIT\opensim_NEW\opensim.sln" (default target) (1) ->
"C:\OPENSIM_GIT\opensim_NEW\OpenSim\Framework\OpenSim.Framework.csproj" (default target) (6) ->
(CoreCompile target) ->
  CSC : error CS0656: Missing compiler required member 'System.Runtime.Compiler.Services.ExtensionAttribute..ctor'

when compiling in OpenSim.Framework.  A quick google suggests some kind of problem with this not being supported until .NET 3.5, though I think all our stuff is switched to that now.

Reverting this patch temporarily does allow OpenSim to compile again but Diva wasn't to actually understand what's going wrong :D - so I'm sure there will be a better solution soon.

By the way, this wasn't my change ;), but if I was doing it I would have fallen into the same issue.
