[Opensim-dev] Parameter description table for opensim.ini/robust.ini

[Markus Metzmacher]

OK, changed as suggested. I've also added a column 'Default Value' and added the following note under the table: Please keep in mind, that the most actual usage of the parameters is described within the version related OpenSim.ini within the bin folder. The list above should more describe the effect, a setting has on the simulation. It would be nice, if someone helps filling the table.

I think, it makes sense to create a table, which tells the user, what switch in what simulator version is responsible for which feature.
