[ODE] box vs xxxx colliders

[LR]

Hi,

Using 0.001 (when world units are about metter) is very great : contacts
points are more stable.

Thank you for the help.

void  dWorldSetContactSurfaceLayer (dWorldID, dReal depth); dReal
dWorldGetContactSurfaceLayer (dWorldID); 

Set and get the depth of the surface layer around all geometry objects.
Contacts are allowed to sink into the surface layer up to the given depth
before coming to rest. The default value is zero. Increasing this to some
small value (e.g. 0.001) can help prevent jittering problems due to contacts
being repeatedly made and broken.

Also:
It would help if you render the contact points, as the 't' option of
test_boxstack does.
This way you can check if the contacts are ok, and whether they are
oscillating on/off or not.
