There is one minor addition to ini configs that I would like to request, 
which I don't think anyone would object to. Can we have the ability to 
'include' other ini files within the current OpenSim.ini, and have those 
later settings override any previous ones? This way I can have myown.ini 
file included at the very end of any new OpenSim.ini file, i.e. only one 
minor edit for me when major changes have been made to the ini file.

Peace,
Sean
