[ODE] Creation of sloped ground planes.

[Shamyl Zakariya]

Drawstuff always draws a flat groundplane at z=0, irregardless of how 
your ground plane is configured, or even if you're using one at all. 
What you're seeing is your robot sliding along the *real* ground...

If you want it to display correctly, you'll have to roll some of your 
own opengl display code.
