[Opensim-dev] Proposal: Implement a de-duplicating core ROBUST asset service

[Diva Canto]

OpenSim has the backend storage as a plugin. As such, anyone can 
implement their own storage backend however way they want -- files 
systems, databases of several kinds, duplication, non-duplication, etc. 
There can be many without that interfering with the rest of the components.

Justin at this moment is implementing yet another plugin option, 
additionally to the existing ones.
