Mono SVN FTW - it's no more difficult to build than opensim (though it does have a few more pieces) and the benefits, if you aplly all the tweaks, are significant.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 8:15 AM, Justin Clark-Casey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jjustincc@googlemail.com">jjustincc@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
