* Some copy and pasting has occurred because it's difficult to properly refactor some bits at present. I'm very ashamed and it will disappear at some future point.
* the methods were identical except that the Properties one did a check for the user profile beforehand. However, every caller was doing this already anyway.
* This patch aims to introduce look at direction persistence between logins. It won't be active until the second part of the patch is committed in about two weeks time. At
this point, region servers that haven't upgraded past this revision may run into problems
* This checkin upgrades the user database. As always, we recommend you have backups in case something goes wrong.
* Many thanks to tyre for this patch.
* This may possibly (est. 20% change) help the situation that we see on OSGrid meetings when a region stops accepting logins, which appears to be because it never receives the expect_user request
* Now it should properly inform the user and stop a login if a region server could not be contacted in order to expect a user (the last commit didn't actually quite work correctly)
* also, properly tell the user if no region can be contacted, rather than letting the login proceed only to fail later when authentication fails on the region side
* copying and pasting code... it makes me cry inside... so sad...
* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
The attached patch (against r6075) fixes it for grid-mode. If the
home-region isn't available, the stored regionHandle will be used
to compute the region-coordinates of the home. This will be wrong
if the home-region has moved, of course, but without the region
being online we can't request the RegionInfo of it for finding out.
Doing that (before the patch) and accessing the (null) RegionInfo
led to a NullReferenceException, which prevented logging in to the
last location.
* There are a lot of changes and this is quite experimental. It's off by default, but you can turn it on by examining the bottom of the opensim.ini.example for the proper OpenSim.ini settings. Remember, you still need an agent domain..
* Furthermore, it isn't quite right when it comes to teleporting to remote regions (place_avatar)

-cast from bool to LSL{Integer,Float,String} so functions such as `integer
isZero(integer x) { return (x == 0); }` work
