[sldev] "Unreferenced" assets

[Kelly Linden]

Example:
* I upload a texture, or lets say 30 textures, one for each english 
alphabet character and some punctuation.
* I use a script to get the asset IDs of each
* I put those asset IDs in an external application
* Each piece of my whiteboard polls my external service (via 
llHTTPRequest) once per second to get the asset ID to show
* I know all the IDs, the scripts don't need to have them in inventory 
and I don't need them clogging my inventory so I delete them all and 
empty my trash
* My system now works with really simple lsl scripts .... until GC 
decides that nothing is referencing the textures
