What are your thoughts about implementing PAL into OpenSim?
The Physics Abstraction Layer http://pal.sourceforge.net/ (*PAL*)
provides a unified interface to a number of different physics engines. This
enables the use of multiple physics engines within one application. It is
not just a
OpenSim already has an abstraction layer for physics engines, and several
engines have been interfaced already. ODE is probably the most complete
implementation. There are also some implementations that exist outside of
core, most notably the Mica N-body simulation on forge.

Or, in perhaps less than accurate but more colloquial terms: a taint is a
signal to the physics engine that an object in the scene has been modified
by something outside of the context of the physics engine, and the physics
engine should take some action on that object when computing the next
