Heh, the stuff below was the result of me trying all this experimentally (I'm 
often in the same position that you folks are with features that I didn't code 
myself, though I do have the advantage of a lot of existing OpenSim knowledge 
when trying to work stuff out :)

Just for information, I haven't yet had the chance to change the wiki - 
hopefully I'll get some time next week.  Personally, I think that separate pages 
linked to the main configuration change for region setup might be nice - that 
way OpenSim 0.6.6 and OpenSim 0.6.7 material could be separated to reduce the 
amount of material that one needs to read through.
