This cleans up Opensim's use of mono addins. In particular, the extension points /OpenSim/RegionModules and /OpenSim/WindModule moved from OpenSim.exe to OpenSim.Region.Framework.dll. From here on, developers of region modules should declare their dlls to be dependent on OpenSim.Region.Framework, starting with version 0.8.1
Additional changes:
- Addins version uniformly updated to 0.8.1. These numbers should be compatible with the release numbers or else it becomes very confusing.
- Mono addins directives moved from files addins.xml to embedded directives in the class and assembly declarations, to make it all consistent
Currently module loading is done ad-hoc. I propose creating a simple
loader class that leverages Mono.Addins (and perhaps the new .NET
addins when they become available in mono). Attached is a basic
patch for review that compiles into HEAD, but doesn't yet replace
any existing ad-hoc loaders.
