// TODOs for BulletSim (for BSScene, BSPrim, BSCharacter and BulletSim)
// Adjust character capsule size when height is adjusted (ScenePresence.SetHeight)
// Test sculpties
// Compute physics FPS reasonably
// Based on material, set density and friction
// More efficient memory usage when passing hull information from BSPrim to BulletSim
// Move all logic out of the C++ code and into the C# code for easier future modifications.
// Four states of prim: Physical, regular, phantom and selected. Are we modeling these correctly?
//     In SL one can set both physical and phantom (gravity, does not effect others, makes collisions with ground)
//     At the moment, physical and phantom causes object to drop through the terrain
// Physical phantom objects and related typing (collision options )
// Use collision masks for collision with terrain and phantom objects 
// Check out llVolumeDetect. Must do something for that.
// Should prim.link() and prim.delink() membership checking happen at taint time?
// Mesh sharing. Use meshHash to tell if we already have a hull of that shape and only create once
// Do attachments need to be handled separately? Need collision events. Do not collide with VolumeDetect
// Implement LockAngularMotion
// Decide if clearing forces is the right thing to do when setting position (BulletSim::SetObjectTranslation)
// Does NeedsMeshing() really need to exclude all the different shapes?
// Remove mesh and Hull stuff. Use mesh passed to bullet and use convexdecom from bullet.
// Add PID movement operations. What does ScenePresence.MoveToTarget do?
// Check terrain size. 128 or 127?
// Raycast
