[ODE] Difference in collision behavior of Trimesh between LinuxandWIndows

[nospam@hardgeus.com]

OK, there is one other thing I just noticed...When I run autogen.sh I get
a lot of error-ish messages.  I ignored them initially because there was a
message saying that "Warnings about underquoted definitions are harmless",
but it seems that something else is going on also.

autogen.sh output:


Please make sure that you use automake 1.8.2 or later
Warnings about underquoted definitions are harmless

Now you are ready to run ./configure
