If the velocity into the contact normal (i e, V dot N) is X, then the 
constraint will attempt to make the velocity after resolution be -X * 
bounce. Note that, if bounce is 0, there may still be some reversal of 
velocity to allow the object to actually separate from the penetration. 
Use a smaller ERP to reduce this "hard bounce" effect.
