[ODE] Delphi ODE - Trimesh

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

Step number 1 when debugging collisions: For each contact joint you get, 
plot a line (in world space) in your graphic visualizer.

Step number 2 when debugging collisions: Allow the simulation to be 
frozen; just run collisions and empty the joint step, and don't actually 
step the simulation. Then allow some UI to single step collision by one 
time step at a time.

These two tools, which you can easily build into your test rig, should 
allow you to figure out what's going on between your wheels and your 
trimesh. If you change your renderer to be able to draw wireframe 
instead of solids, it'll help even more.

Cheers,
