[ODE] Laser range finder

[Shamyl Zakariya]

I'm glad to hear it!

My quadruped is also autonomously exploring thanks to range-finder 
input for collision avoidance... though I've taken a short break from 
the AI to develop a better environment using dGeomTrimesh + 
heightmapping + LOD so my powerbook doesn't meltdown.

Here you can see it after it was allowed to randomly explore a *simple* 
environment for a while

Here it is in my new ( less than 1 day old ) terrain engine. No time 
for exploration yet, as I'm still debugging the terrain.
