ODE was designed with a *right handed* coordinate system in mind.
as long as you are using that (and i think you are) then the rest
is just convention. the demos use the "+Z is up" convention, but
that's just because i like that better, and this assumption is not
coded into ODE itself at all.

you're right. but instead of making something new here, maybe you could
add the required code to the windows part of the "drawstuff" library
and send me a patch? if you do that, i'll do the X-Windows side.
