[sldev] Uncouple Avatar movement from Sim

[nik at terminaldischarge.net]

I see, so your just wanting to get animations of your avatar.

You don't want interaction with the world at all.

For getting an avatar to perform animations without bothering the sim,
(apart from downloading the animation data), have a look through the
source code to see how the "Play Local" code for animation is done, I'm
sure that would give you a starting point.

However I can't tell you where that is in the source, sorry.
