[sldev] libsl

[Dahlia Trimble]

Sure. Try http://www.libsecondlife.org/wiki/Main_Page

Unfortunately documentation is pretty sparse but it has been improving.
There are a lot of example programs that come with the source and they are
the best introduction. The class documentation in the source is also
improving. It's pretty much download it and start hacking like so many other
open source packages.

Good luck!
