(This is my first post here, sorry if I'm asking a stupid thing)

We're a software company specialized in graphical components for developers (VStudio, ActiveX, etc) and would like to "embedd" our 
charts in-world programatically, but our library is huge and can't be translated to LSL/Traxys, so we'd like to know if the viewer 
could be modified/customized to accept external modules (a dll or activex control in Windows) that will automatically rez objects 
with many primitives at client-side without sending them to the server.  Something similar to Firefox plugins.

An alternative for us (in 2D only) will be url2prim (https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-217) using urls with parameters that our 
servers will use to generate the texture image.

btw: Using VStudio (beta 2008 and 2005), couldn't compile the indra_complete.sln solution, I get errors like missing glext.h (which 
I found at opengl.org) and many other errors, so I guess VStudio/CodeGear C++ can't be used to compile it. We'd like also to use 
AQTime to do profiling.
