[ODE] Autodisable defaults

[Gopi Prashanth]

I was under the impression, only if the and of all the mentioned conditions
is true then and only then the body gets disabled, I feel that is
reasonable. You might want to chage it depending on your specific scenario.
I work on games and it seems just fine.

I was looking at the autodisable defaults that dWorldCreate uses, and it 
seems like there's a problem.  Here's what's in the code:

w->adis.linear_threshold = REAL(0.001)*REAL(0.001);
w->adis.angular_threshold = REAL(0.001)*REAL(0.001);
w->adis.idle_steps = 10;
w->adis.idle_time = 0;
w->adis_flag = 0;

So if a body has linear and angular velocity less than linear_threshold 
and angular_threshold for more than idle_steps or idle_time it will get 
disabled.  Idle_steps seems reasonable at 10, but idle_time is zero, 
which means bodies will get disabled the instant they drop below the 
thresholds.  Is this right?
