That definitely looks like an interesting library; I might have
to research it more. However, I'll probably stick with Bullet for
now; it seems to be more mature, and since I'm leaning toward
using a binding rather than a port, Bullet is probably the easier
option because I don't have to fiddle with the C# garbage
collector.
