Yes, I would concur that getting patches to complete Adam's vision of
IClientCore is a reasonable thing to do and would encourage patches that move
us along this path.

Adam started doing just that a while ago with the IClientCore and split a few
methods out to other intefaces. Its just it has never had much work done on it
since. I guess we should maybe make it a aim to finish that for the 0.7.x
series.

I hate the IClientAPI. It's ginormous! The reason why I hate it is that
I tend to look at OpenSim dlls as components that can be reused by other
programs. When those dlls have dependencies on IClientAPI, it's a pain
in the neck to have to implement the 400 functions in it, especially
when only 6 need 'meat.'
The IClientAPI is the abstract representation of the Linden client.
Maybe we could split it into, say, 50 different APIs that represent
functional units of clients. And then have LLClientView be an aggregator
of all those interfaces?
