Personally I am against having any loader with ODE.  I view ode much
like OpenGL - a low level C API which you can either use raw, or some
higher level API to extend it.  Just like geometry loaders for OpenGL
belong in the high level layer, so should any type of ODE loader (hence
why I am also against using C code as the model format).

Agreed, perhaps a sample loader could be included under the contrib
section but definitely not in the core.
