Non-core Joints

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please refactor the library to facilitate extra joint types as a runtime
addition.

Details of the proposed implementation can be found here:

I implemented a weld joint and friction joint.

I have not yet seen a user created joint that I would feel comfortable 
supporting. Lets 
see how well I'm able to keep up with new joint requests over the next few 
months 
before I implement this feature.

Erin, how about a 'MaxDistance' joint.  We added this in Box2D.XNA because it's 
useful for connecting the first & last body of a rope so that the rope can lift 
a 
large load without breaking appart.

I haven't seen the community making high quality joints on their own. So it is 
up to me to implement them as needed.
