[ODE] Initial conditions problem

[Thomas Paviot]

Hello,

A human being throw a stone far away : i want to simulate the movement 
of the stone. When the stone leave the human's hand, the velocity vector 
is 1m/s with an angle of 45° with gravity vector.

Before starting an ODE simulation, at initial time, all velocities are 
equal to 0.0. Is it possible to apply initial velocity to a joint (or a 
body) before starting simulation? It seems there is no builtin function 
to do that.

Anyway, do you have any tip to go around the problem?
