[ODE] Using rays to generate a light/shadow map

[Shamyl Zakariya]

Outside of this particular use, I've had excellent luck colliding 
arbitrary rays against trimeshes. Also, when the shadowing does work ( 
e.g., on the second load ) it looks correct.

So I'm not too worried about the collision accuracy, just the fact that 
it doesn't work until the game has run once.
