[Opensim-dev] Draw Distance

[Mic Bowman]

the draw distance patch does not use the avatar's draw distance. at some
point it should; there are reasons why using the avatar draw distance is
harder (mostly related to dynamically computing neighbors as the draw
distance is changing).

rather, the current code uses a simulator configuration variable to set the
draw distance. opensim has always provided "one region beyond" for neighbor
computation. this just lets you go farther than one region. see the
DefaultDrawDistance parameter in OpenSimDefaults.ini
