From: Dr Scofield <hud@zurich.ibm.com>

* Fixes the admin_shutdown xmlrpc method
* Adds a share/python/console/shutdown.py script for shutting down a background OpenSim
* For more details see http://xyzzyxyzzy.net/2008/04/29/console-less-opensim/
* There should also be instructions in the opensimulator wiki soon as well
