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

[Jaroslav Sinecky]

Yes, for convex hull there is already Bullet library implementing GJK 
and the new implementation by Rodrigo. I tried the Bullet-ODE 
integration couple months ago, and it worked, but my frame rates dropped 
deep deep bellow interactive. I don't know if it got any better since 
(Erwin?)
At the end, my impression was that costume collision code for each 
primitive pair will probably always beat general convex hull algorithms 
in terms of performance. Or am I wrong?
