[ODE] Box/Trimesh contact filtering and oblong geoms

[Julien LOLLIVIER]

It seems you're right : with a test like "< FLT_EPSILON", all is perfectly stable, and it filters more contacts than with "== 0". (gcc 3.3.2, x86)
I've learned something new today, thanks ;)

I think it's obvious, but since I'm using single precision, EPSILON and DBL_EPSILON does not produce a correct behavior.

The same system is used for normals:
if (fabs(dDOT(in_Normal, Contact->normal)) > 0.99) { ... }
Correct formulation is something like "> ((dReal)1)-ODE_EPSILON" ?
