[ODE] Fixed gjk convex collision preview for ODE

[phpbb at erwincoumans.com]

The windows demo was missing the file Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest and some 
dll's. I disabled manifest and re-uploaded the demo. This one should work.

e.zip 


Press 'l' for a gjk convex cylinder, 'f' for a gjk box, 'n' for a convex 
hull bunny, and b,c,s for ode original colliders for box, capped cylinder 
and sphere. 

Notice that there is interaction between all primitives. 

Most noticeable issues: cylinder gains a bit of energy, due to penetration 
depth recovery. Some damping can fix this. Also the convex-hull bunny has 
some issues, it sinks (some integration bugs). Obviously it only uses the 
discrete collision detection of Bullet, no time of impact. 

For the brave ones, the modified ODE sourcecode including bullet etc. can be 
downloaded here:
It is the latest official ODE version 0.5 sourceforge release (May 29, 
2004). Open \Bullet\Extras\ode-0.5\VC6\Samples\MakeAllTests.dsw (or .sln for 
VC8) 

Thanks to Megan, Rodriges, Jaroslav and James Dolan for testing !
