A couple of years back, I think someone managed to store (in ODE) the
inverse of the inertia matrix, so storing 1/inertia instead of just
inertia. That enables using 0 to define infinite inertia for axes. Not
sure whether there was ever a patch or that the code would be compatible
with today's Quick/Faststep algorithms...
