[ODE] cylinder collision.

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

The mass doesn't matter for collisions; it's the Geoms that matter.

There is no supported cylinder geom, although there are a few 
not-finished contributions.

I recommend reading the entire manual from cover to cover. It actually 
answers a number of the questions that you ran into when just playing 
with the tests (such as the shape of a ccylinder, and the difference 
between mass and geoms).

I would try to model a hockey puck using a flat box for the ground 
contact, and a sphere for the sideways contacts (and use a contact 
filter inside the collision callback).

Cheers,
