[ODE] collision matrix

[Bram Stolk]

Alen,

I can do the ODE port of your code if you want.
Do you have a description of the algorithm to go with
your code?

If you send your stuff to me, I'll try integrating
it.

My offer for cylinder-cylinder and cylinder-capsule (and any other)
colliders from Serious Engine 2 is still valid. If anyone has time and
will to port them over to ODE, I'll be glad to provide the code and
some guidance. But I don't expect to have the time to debug the
results. I can only assert that they do work correctly for us. (What
anyone will be able to validate directly as we will be releasing the
editor soon.)

Cheers,
Alen

P.S. Believe it or not, no math PhD's were involved in writing that
code. ;) Though I do admit, cyl-cyl was the hardest.
