[ODE] handling player collision with static and dynamic objects separately

[Patrick McColgan]

You could add user data to all your geoms (e.g. a bool called dynamic) 
then after a successful narrow phase collision you could check the geoms 
for whatever pairs you want to handle yourself and manipulate the joint 
narrowphase returned.
