Thank you

Could you do it again please :-) 
I have just finished an update for the breakable joints. Now you can set the 
forces per body and they are relative to the bodies. And I've implemented a 
callback function that is called if a joint breaks. I'm not really fond of 
callback functions but I didn't see another way of informing a user that a 
joint has broken. The files are at the same location: 
http://www.canthonis.nl/admin/BreakableJoints.zip

I guess the next step is joints that can bend. But I think that is going to be 
a bit more difficult. because bending a joint means rotating it's axis. And 
that could introduce errors in the simulation. But I can at least give it a 
try.
