What in hell is "Couatl"

I just loaded MegaScenery Las Vegas and now I get a reminder that I must run "Couatl Scripting Engine" and run "Stand Alone Addon Manager."
I looked on Google and they seemed to be as pexplexed as I am. Does anyone know what this Couatl business is?
 
Saw this on Avsim...
I guess this is what it is: "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Couatl engine FSDreamteam have developed that allows a high degree of interaction between FSX and FSDreamteam add-ons". [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Not real descriptive beyond that. :salute:

Edit: here it is in more descriptive form from the developer of this thingy...

"[/FONT]However, if you had a look at the manual, there's also an explanation about the meaning of that name. Couatl is not just a D&D creature, but it is a creature half-snake, half-bird from ancient Aztec mythology. Since Couatl.exe is a scripting engine based on the Python programming language for a Flight Simulator, we thought that a reference to a "Flying Snake" might have been nice".

Yep...weird huh?
 
I think the scripting engine drives their addon manager, which is their way of securing the product against unregistered users. No idea if it works or how, but that's my understanding.
