[Opensim-dev] PhysX Development

[Glenn Martin]

That's an interesting idea.  We are trying to maximize performance, so we
have been writing a simple C#/C++ wrapper that will leave the native stuff
on the C++ side and keep the calls from OpenSim pretty straight-forward.
I'm going to look at the php idea for later uses, though!
