[Opensim-users] Script Engine Messages

[Justin Clark-Casey]

I don't like the way script language/desired engine detection was done - a clash with existing scripts could have been 
avoided by requiring some special preceeding chracters rather than simple c#, lsl:DotNetEngine, etc (like #! in shell 
scripts, for instance).

However, as it is I think I can see a way to stop these messages being output if the first comment is not trying to set 
a script language/engine.
