[ODE] help for check the direction of the fdir1 in the wheel simulation

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

Because you don't want slip in the forward direction; you only want to 
simulate slip in the side direction. The rolling physics eat up the slip 
in the forward direction, unless you lock the brakes. Also, there is no 
"sideways" velocity in the forward direction, so thus no force dependent 
slip!

Cheers,
