[ODE] dJointCreatePlane2D

[Matthew Koichi Grimes]

One foreseeable complaint is that it's hard-coded to constrain objects 
to the X-Y plane, as opposed to any arbitrary plane specified by a 
normal and an offset. I don't know if it's better to fix that before 
adding it to CVS, or add it and hope somebody fixes it.

Bram: yes, it comes with a nice test_plane2d.cc program, but it needs to 
be moved from drawstuff/test.pserocka to ode/test. This involves a small 
edit to its code so it still finds the textures, and a small edit to the 
make process so it gets built.
