[ODE] Ray - Cylinder collider submission

[Bastian von Halem]

Hello,

i think Solid is based on GJK collision detection which is a whole 
different approach (requires all collision code to be GJK). Isnt it only 
a matter of time when ODE switches to GJK, or namely the Bullet 
collision detection system? So may it be worthwhile to hack into the 
collision code instead of switching to something "better"?
