[Opensim-dev] load region information/data from online (grid mode only of cource)

[Melanie]

I'm surprised that you were having issues with it as Avination
doesn't use flat files at all, we web-load all configuration always
and had zero failures doing that.
Our configuration source is database tables and XML is produced on
the fly using PHP scripts. Works perfectly every time.
