[opensource-dev] Open Development project: extendingavatarwearables

[Nyx Linden]

I'd argue that's an insufficient solution. Parameters such as sleeve 
length and color have fairly dramatic impacts on how a wearable appears. 
Converting only the textures would result in a fairly disappointing 
result, I think.
