Did you get my last message?  For a simple box stacking simulation, you
shouldn't need to use any of the euler math or "rotate" functions you
mentioned earlier.  If you're getting unexpected spinning, I'd almost bet
that it's coming from that code.

ODE can *definitely* handle box stacking... I know it's frustrating
getting started with ODE (went through that myself) but it really does
work.
