You might want to go back and double check.  I still have a trunk OpenSim which 
is fine using multiple region xml files.  The same should be true of 0.6.7.

You're right, this is bad, the doc really needs to be updated here.

I had completely forgotten that the regions default had changed to .ini between 
0.6.6 and 0.6.7.

 From reading the code, I think that it should be possible either to

1)  Specify multiple regions in a single ini file (e.g. Regions.ini).  For example

[Big Fat Region]
RegionUUID = 5ce85740-6460-43d3-ba4c-29207b010072
Location = 1000,1000
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9000
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 192.168.1.2
MasterAvatarFirstName = Justin
MasterAvatarLastName = Clark-Casey
MasterAvatarSandboxPassword = yeahokay

[Greek Wedding]
RegionUUID = 5c445740-6460-43d3-ba4c-444444445555
Location = 1000,1001
InternalAddress = 0.0.0.0
InternalPort = 9001
AllowAlternatePorts = False
ExternalHostName = 192.168.1.2
MasterAvatarFirstName = Justin
MasterAvatarLastName = Clark-Casey
MasterAvatarSandboxPassword = yeahokay

or spread them across multiple ini files.  Of course, the old xml files should 
also work.

I'll try and change the wiki page sometime (making separate 0.6.6 and 0.6.7 
sections for now, even though that's messy).  Of course, if someone else wants 
to jump in and do that it would be very much appreciated :)
