[ODE] some suggestions

I miss one thing a lot in ODE - feedback. It is quite nessecary to know how much force joints are exposed to, so they can break or take action.

In this way ode can find out how much certain parts of a construction must be able to hold for. Or in other words will my thing break or not with theese parts?

Other feedback that would be good is whether a wheel is gliding or rolling. When I have a car in ode I would like to know when it makes a burn-out so I can add sound and smoke and stuff.

Another thing I miss is friction for rotating stuff, when a sphere is rolling on the ground it would be good to have some friction that makes it to stop after a while, for a pool table etc.

Great work!
