First of all thanks for committing the patch. I will be easier for me to 
stay in sync.


Second, It is a little bit off topic but

The patch about the assert for non-zero mass center.
Should ODE be able to work with a center of mass not centered at the 
frame body ?

Lots of people are making the assumption that the center of mass can be 
somewhere else.

I think the changes to be able to work with a CM not at the frame body 
will be only in the step, quickstep and faststep functions.
I started looking at that but did not finish. (Some code is still 
commented out in my sandbox)
