[ODE] Disabling axis of rotations on a body

[Shaul Kedem]

Alex,
 I am also sending this to the list since I am not
sure where the problem is,
 your three emails got to me with the dates 23 of
july, 24 of february and 23 of july.

 If it is how everybody else got it (I don't see why
not) I suggest you'll check it out.
