<p class=MsoNormal>Adam started doing just that a while ago with the
IClientCore and split a few methods out to other intefaces. Its just it has
never had much work done on it since. I guess we should maybe make it a aim
to finish that for the 0.7.x series. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I hate the IClientAPI. It's ginormous! The reason why I
hate it is that <br>
I tend to look at OpenSim dlls as components that can be reused by other <br>
programs. When those dlls have dependencies on IClientAPI, it's a pain <br>
in the neck to have to implement the 400 functions in it, especially <br>
when only 6 need 'meat.'<br>
<br>
The IClientAPI is the abstract representation of the Linden client. <br>
Maybe we could split it into, say, 50 different APIs that represent <br>
functional units of clients. And then have LLClientView be an aggregator <br>
of all those interfaces?<br>
