[ODE] Ways to contribute brainpower to ODE? (Higher order integrator?)

[Megan Fox]

What about convex bounding hulls, though?

I'm a little out of touch with current CVS ODE, but isn't that still
either entirely missing (because the only convex hull collider of
merit has incompatiable licensing) or unpolished?

Granted, convex hulls != trimesh, but a collection of convex hulls can
be used to approximate with fair accuracy most of the solid geometry
for which you'd want trimeshes.  No hula hoops, but I can't think of
the last time hula hoops were a critical component of a game's
physical representation ;)
