spheres,capsules, cylinders,boxes, planes and rays are
supported. 

Natively, GIMPACT only has implemented spheres and
capsules, but in the ODE-GIMPACT package the new
library has been adapted to the whole ODE library for
using the existing functionality. So take a look into
the "replacement_for_ode" folder: it only changes a
little the older box-trmesh collision, because it is
still running good. 

Test the demo "testmovingtrimeshes.exe" and you'll
discover that even the cylinders are working.

About the performance.... I've found that is quite
similar to the older OPCODE implementation, sometimes
faster.

Think about that GIMPACT is a quite inmadure. More
testing is needed. Please, do more benchmarking. That
is up to you. 

cheers.
