[Opensim-dev] Confusion regarding initial OpenSimulatorconfiguration.

[Teravus Ovares]

I tweaked Quick Standalone Configuration tool once more, so that it
appends just under the [Architecture] header instead of at the bottom
of the file.    This should prevent it from breaking if someone adds
another section under [Architecture] in OpenSim.ini in the future.

It also mentions that they should run OpenSim.exe or
OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe, respectively, when it's done (thanks for the
note Brianna).

Updated Code: http://pastebin.com/gZFZcu9G

The zip file is updated also.   Still the same location:
