[ODE] Pick up objects

[David Sveningsson]

I've been experimenting with picking up objects for a couple of days now
but I still cannot get it to work. I've created a test enviroment based
on drawstuff. The source is at http://sidvind.com/~ext/pickup.tar.gz

Could anyone take a look at the source and see whats wrong with my it?

The objects is restricted to move at X-axis only, controll the "player"
with WASD, move the arm with QE and pickup with R. When I've picked up
something and tries to move it explodes.
