Buildings deprecated? (but really, an introduction - "Hello opensim4opencog!"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Do a "look" near what should be a building
2. You will notice no buildings are ever listed

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

 Expected to see buildings for any prim group that has more than
5(hard-coded?) prims

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

 Latest build as of this date, Win XP / Visual C# Express 2008

Please provide any additional information below.

Hello!  I am using this as a very rude way of introducing myself as someone
who would like to participate in this project, as a user/tester if not
contributor to things like documentation.

The Buildings thing is not exactly a ruse, as it makes sense that there
should be more things to define "what constitutes a building?" as just
something with a linkset of more than a certain number of prims.  I see in
the code (WorldObjects.cs) remnants of building-detecting methods, but
probably somewhere during a refactor, this functionality went away. 
Specifically, the variable primGroups is declared and initialized but never
assigned.

Sorry I'm not more well-versed with the code but I am quite interested and
motivated to help out, given that I'm hoping this can be of use in
coursework here at CMU's LTI, where we hope to have students programming
bots to converse with a "teacher" or "master" avatar in order to perform
simple tasks.  It is the conversation that is the focus of our research...
question answering, incomplete problem specification, discovery of
information "inworld" by the bots as well as asking for further information
from the "teacher" (with a penalty) to further complete the task.

At this point our goal is just to create a demo.

I am very impressed and grateful for all the code that exists thus far, and
hope to help by running it, finding and reporting problems, possibly fixing
them and documenting the system for newcomers.  Please let me know if this
is OK, welcome, forbidden, etc.  And nice to meet you, logicmoo, jhr, and
kino! :)
