[ODE] Dynamically changing the rendering...

[Martin C. Martin]

Hey Josh,

Good to see you here, I just got back from IROS in Lausanne.  The OpenGL
library, "drawstuff," is separate from the physics library, "ode."  When
using drawstuff, you call dStepWorld() from your own function, called
simLoop() in the tests.  simLoop() is called automatically by drawstuff
every frame.  When you don't use drawstuff, you just call dStepWorld()
yourself in a loop.  It would be easy to put these into a single
executable, although I use two different executables personally.  Check
out the source code to the examples for more details.
