But won't I just end up with the same problem?  Either I disable gravity and
float around the map, or manually apply gravity in the -Y vector, and have the
exact same situation?

I suppose I could do something nasty like figure out if I'm on the ground or
not each step, and apply a different gravity amount depending if I'm
jumping/falling or walking.
