correct. the COM must still be (0,0,0) in the mass parameters you
set on a body. this limitation will be fixed ... whenever.

but right now, to offset the COM you can simply position the body
differently and adjust the mass parameters to suit. you can get the
new inertia parameters with dMassTranslate() ... you copy only the
inertia of the resulting mass structure.
