[Opensim-users] default avatar appearance

[Mic Bowman]

OpenSimWI directly manipulates the MySQL database to create avatar
accounts (do we have a create user XMLRPC call on the user server in
grid mode yet?). I know enough about the MySQL layout to write some
sql code into opensimwi to create the assets necessary and to populate
the inventory... but the solution would be *very* brittle (and far
more work than it's worth).
