[Opensim-dev] Variable size region progress

[R.Gunther]

Ok. youhave compleet my attention :) designed the 6x6 anyway for square.
  only hope a var can handle right 330.000 prims. thats what i 
calculated as estimated max. only allow 15K / region.
it would anyway solve lots of verhicle headaces with simborders.
Its because im just still working on setting up stuff. but its something 
else i need to test !

Get a bit happy feeling... :)
