Yes, have a look at the setTransform function in drawstuff.  Just pass in
the parameters for the body.  Basically, instead of calling setCamera in
dsDrawFrame, call setTransform () instead, passing in the data for the
body you want to "carry" the camera.

But, there comes a point when you're better off starting from scratch than
hacking new functionality into drawstuff.  :-) I think you're approaching
that point if you haven't passed it already.
