libsecondlife actually maintains a separate mailing list at 
http://opensecondlife.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libsl-dev which would 
be the best place to ask libsl-related questions, as this mailing list 
is focused on development of the Linden Labs SL client. To answer your 
question though the MoveTo() function is just a wrapper around the 
simulator-side autopilot function which is very rough at best. The 
SecondLife.Self.Status class contains everything to handle sending 
AgentUpdate packets which is the proper way to move around in the 
metaverse, although movement can be a very complex task to automate 
through software.
