[ODE] freezing a moving object

[Cristian Bianchi]

Just a simple tip...
Detach the geometry from the ode body using
dGeomSetBody( g, 0 );
The geom will be attached to the static envirnment, so it will become
unmovable.
... and destroy the body if you don't need it again in the simulation.
Otherwise you can just disable it, and re-enable when it must be slept.
