Associating the data with the geom would be more general, I agree. I chose
to associate it with the trimeshdata for "least change" reasons.  That is,
I wanted to make as few changes as possible to ODE to include trimesh/trimesh
collisions.  This was before I was sure I could get good results, and before
I knew it would be OK with my employers for me to contribute the code back
to the community.  Feel free to fix my poor architecture decision.
