[ODE] Universal joint

[Remko Jacobs (act-3d.com)]

I noticed that two bodies that are connected by a joint do not have   
collision with each other. Am I missing something here? The ODE examples   
show the same behavior between connected bodies.

Hi,

The way I do it is to use collisions with the body to limit the rotation.   

That looks pretty natural...
