[ODE] 0.6 Release

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

Macros are evil.

The right thing to do is to explicitly #undef min and max after 
including the system headers, so that the evil horrible macros that 
earlier version of MS headers define, aren't defined anymore.

Also, for the broken MSVC 6 "for" loop scoping, the canonical fix is to 
add this define to a header:

#define for if(0);else for

However, MSVC version 6 is now 8 years old. It might be time to retire 
it -- especially since microsoft is giving away version 8 for free (in 
the "express edition" versions). I would submit that making sure that 
ODE works well with MSVC Express Edition is much more important than 
support for the fairly broken 6.0.

Cheers,

          / h+
