[ODE] Trimesh problems

[Anders Olofsson]

Using those functions calmed down the jumping a bit but its still quite 
noticeable, so much that I dont think turning on autodisable will cause the 
spheres to rest. I managed to compile the latest snapshot without too much 
problems, so I might look at trying to change the normals later.

Thanks!
