btQuantizedBvh has a version number, memory layout might be different now (due to aligned btVector3)
reorganized some data members of some classes, to reduce memory footprint

Fix btConvexTriangleMeshShape::calculatePrincipalAxisTransform
Both thanks to Ole.
Use our own union to extract a scalar value from an SSE intrinsic (instead of relying on MSVC-only m128_u32
Thanks to BlindSide
Plan is to convert COLLADA XML into IFF, for faster, more compact and easier to read and parse files.
Reading/writing code is a few hundred lines of code, instead of COLLADA-DOM and libxml combo.
So it would be suitable as a run-time format for platforms ranging from iPhone to PlayStation 3.
Relevant physics data (and perhaps other data) will be converted from COLLADA -> IFF.
We could call the resulting files COLLADA binary IFF -> CLIFF.
BulletMultiThreaded/NarrowPhaseCollision makes use of this boxBoxDistance.
Cache some values in src/BulletMultiThreaded/SpuContactManifoldCollisionAlgorithm.cpp, to avoid DMA transfers
2) Added btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil: this allows caching of separating distance/vector as early-out to avoid convex-convex collision detection.
btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil is used in src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btConvexConvexAlgorithm.cpp and can be controlled by btDispatcherInfo.m_useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil/m_convexConservativeDistanceThreshold
3) Use BulletMultiThreaded/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath_aos.h as fallback for non-PlayStation 3 Cell SPU/PPU platforms (used by boxBoxDistance).
Note there are other implementations in Extras/vectormath folder, that are potentially faster for IBM Cell SDK 3.0 SPU (libspe2)
btGhostObject can be used for character control, fast short-ray tests, explosions, collision trigger zones etc
See Demos/CharacterDemo/KinematicCharacterController.* for example use. We add some explosion demo before next release.
It is a fast way to keep track of overlapping objects in an area, and doing rayTest and convexSweepTest for overlapping objects, instead of btCollisionWorld::rayTest/convexSweepTest.
Updated KinematicCharacterController to use btPairCachingGhostObject.
and rayTestInternal re-uses precomputed invRayDirection/signs.
also did some performance comparison with different ray-AABB test, from
http://jgt.akpeters.com/papers/EisemannEtAl07/
In short: it is faster, but it is not clear how to cull ray segments using ray slopes: when rays starts inside the AABB, we get a negative t value, but negatives also get false t-values...
