Our internal setup is not a good example, unless you like 2-gigabyte
wodges of code that take forever to check out, and incredible numbers of
internal dependencies.  There's no separation beyond convention between
viewer, simulator, and various little utilities. This is a major reason
why our code export is infrequent and broken.  The team that put
together the first open source release did some heroic work to make a
subset of this monolith compile and run at all.

I believe there is an internal effort (Sardonyx?) to pull the beast
apart and try to make the various parts more loosely coupled.  Pulling
out eventlet and mulib is a step in the "Right" direction in that
sense.  So, yeah, I think that some stuff will be trickled out in the
Linden-tree structure, and sometimes we'll be able to go the extra mile
and pull apart loosely-coupled pieces of code into their own parts.

wind-blowing)
