[ODE] Re: Latest Code and MsVC

yes - i just tried this and apparently MSVC gives a warning for
FOO(a,) if FOO is #defined to take two args. however i dont think
this prevents compile, and there's a pragma to turn off warnings
(though i'm not sure if it will work for preprocessor warnings).
i'd like to know what the CPP spec allows here?

strange ... i never had this problem with MSVC++ 6. dBase is the base 
class for many ODE objects (body, joint etc) so if memory is really not 
being freed this is a problem. note that delete[] is declared but never
used.
