[ODE] Trimesh

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

In general, OPCODE (the triangle collider in ODE) does a better job of 
partitioning than you. Thus, I'd just throw the entire mesh at ODE and 
make it deal with it. That many triangles will use a bit of memory, but 
not so much that it's a problem on a modern machine.

Cheers,
