[ODE] cylinder collision.

I hate asking such basic questions on such a wide distribution,
but since its a listserv and not a forum - apologies in advance:
I've been playing with the test_*.cpp-s, trying to learn the
basics of ode. I have been doing well - until I ran into a
snag with Cylinders. Capped cylinders collide and draw as
expected. The first thing I did was create a tall stack of
'pills' on end.
I then replaced my calles to dMass' setCappedCylinder with
setCylinder, which pukes because there is no such call. I
thought this was odd, and went into mass.cpp, where I found
dMassSetCylinder. I simply replaced:
m.setCylinder(...)
with
dMassSetCylinder(&m, ...)
...changed my call of drawCappedCylinder to drawCylinder,
and it compiled. Running it (and fiddling with how precicely
vertical my cylinders are) makes it quite clear that I still
have cylinders capped with semi-spheres.
For my game, it's quite important that I have hockey-puck-
shaped objects. Is this not supported, or have I missed
something obvious. (It wouldn't be the first time - it took
me a while to realize that a capped cylinder wasn't a tube
with flat caps. Live and learn.)
thanks, all!
