The list of OSSL functions that can be enabled is long and only going to 
get longer over time. I like the idea of having the settings in a 
separate file. I have a problem with the file ending in "ini". If grid 
operators are allowed to modify this file their changes will be lost the 
next time they upgrade their base install of OS when the osslEnable.ini 
overwrites their customized version. Changes to the defaults should be 
in a separate file that won't get clobbered by a grid upgrade in the 
similar way to how we have OpenSim.ini.example, Flotsame.ini.example, 
and GridCommon.ini.example.

The later proposable from Mister Blue advocating settings such as
     "Allow_OsSetEstateSunSettings =  ESTATE_MANAGER,ESTATE_OWNER"
is a good one. It allows finer control over who can use a given 
function. It would be good to have a way to have a shortcut for settings 
that may often repeat. The example could use some other string to 
represent the combination of estate owner and manager. It would make the 
file a little easier to read.
