[ODE] Trimesh collision: not all triangles are colliding

[Sazzad Karim]

Hey,
  We are working 'only' on windows platform. We have managed to solve our 
problem using the SimpleTrimesh assignment function, but the normal one that 
takes vertices, indices and strides didn't work (we are sure about it). 
Maybe some trimesh functions have been unimplemented or have errors. But we 
are happy that it is woking now :) Hey you can try out the Simple function 
too and see if it works!! But i hope to see a new release from the ODE team 
fixing the trimesh system soon.
P.S. BTW compling the ODE library as a dll was quite a drag. My teammate 
Zahid compiled it by changing/adding many config settings and parameters
