OPCODE is not part of ODE. OPCODE is a separate library for collision 
detection. ODE just uses it for collision detection with trimeshes.

I use gentoo :-)
I would like a separate ebuild for OPCODE. But that would make things a bit 
more difficult. How do you set the OPCODE directory in the user_settings 
file? Maybe you can create a useflag for OPCODE and make OPCODE a dependency 
of ODE.

Anyway, I would go for the two source packages.
