I agree, I didn't mean that ODE developers should now make a graphics library. I
thought of interested ODE users, like me...

I didn't know any ode wrappers for cross-platform graphics libraries. Looks like
this is, what I was looking for. If I have
time I'll make a review and add the links to the wiki area...

True. I guess the only argument in favor of Picasso is, that it is small (about
the same size as Drawstuff), i.e. good for people that know GLUT and don't want
to spend a lot of time learning a new graphics library.
