i notice in teh graphics settings there's an option for " avatar cloth " or some similar name. Is this a foreshadowing of the use of something like Maya's nCloth ?

That option has been there a long time. and I'm not 100% sure what it is for. However when you create clothes, there are sliders for deforming the AV's mesh, to simulate certain types of clothing, for instance flared jeans. I can only guess it applies to that.

The avatar cloth option enables the ruffling of baggy portions of an avatar's clothes (and hair, I think) in the "wind", ie when the avatar moves.

It's actually been there a very long time. It enables you to see ripples in water and avatars.
