[Opensim-dev] Proposal: notify clients when Robust changes a user's inventory

[Diva Canto]

I can see the justification for using IM server-side when what needs to 
be communicated is intended to reach specific users who may be 
online.For generic communications, we should not use IM. But for those 
specific cases, locating the user is the hardest task of the process; IM 
already does that. So I'm ok with doing it. As Oren says, refactoring 
this at some point would be nice...
