[sldev] Opening the server source?

[Mike Monkowski]

Actually, I was suggesting something between these two.  By breaking the 
sim into a message server and a physics server, you don't have to change 
the rest of the architecture.  The viewer sees no change.  The specialty 
servers see no change.  One box is just split into two with the rest of 
the connections remaining intact.  It should be a lot easier to implement.
