[ODE] Trimesh-sphere collision detection debugging

If you think of ODE coordinates as right-handed, then triangle winding 
should be CCW, IIRC. The cool thing with a math package like ODE is that 
it's not inherently hadned. I currently plug in DirectX meshes, winding, 
and coordinates, and treat what I get out as DirectX coordinates (all 
left-handed, CW, etc) and it works peachy. As long as you're consistent :-)

Cheers,
