[ODE] Ray - Cylinder collider submission

[Olivier Michel]

Hi,

I had a look at FreeSOLID, an open source collision detection library 
which seems to handle cylinder - cylinder collisions properly.
Their code looks very simple and well written, however, I am not sure 
how well it performs and how easy it would be to integrate their 
cylinder code to ODE... The URL is here: http://www.win.tue.nl/~gino/solid/
I guess this is worth studying this in depth before developing something 
complex for cylinder - cylinder collisions in ODE.
