I am wondering about the valid use of dInfinity throughout ODE. It is mentioned 
explicitly by a few functions, but it is never made clear whether it is a well defined 
global equal to the largest practical number storable in a dReal, or whether it is 
some special value (e.g. NaN) that gives ODE a wink and a nod that it need not do 
certain calculations, or that some calculations can be done in a different manner. 
Or perhaps it is both?

And, in conclusion, is the following valid:

dJointSetHinge2Param(... dParamFMax2, dInfinity);
