[ODE] Shifting body center of mass

It is documented in the ODE manual that the center of mass in the dMass 
structure is not actually effective. Instead, you have to move the geoms 
that your body uses in the other direction.

As always, there is source code for a car simulation using ODE available 
at http://www.mindcontrol.org/~hplus/carworld/

Cheers,
