[ODE] Creature Evolution input

[John DeWeese]

Guess what, I'm also doing a project on creature evolution! It's 
clearly "the thing to do".

This allows the neural net for the body part, and its connections to 
other neural nets, can be included or encoded in the genome of the part 
by itself. This way, you can keep an established net for some parts, 
while screwing with the connections of others for the sake of evolution.
