 If you want to implement collision-based physics, OpenDynamicsEngine (ODE) is the furthest along at the moment (9/07).  It is not fully supported, but is starting to work somewhat reliably using a small number of regions per sim.
-As installed from svn, ODE does not work on all platforms.  If you get an ODE-related crash, and/or an <i>ode.dll not found</i> type of error (which can occur even though the dll is present!),   try using the debug version of the dll, available here:

-The debugger in VS2005 C# may be used to step through the code. For those that use a Cygwin shell, you may find that one or more dll's have permissions that cause problems running. Most find that a "chmod 777 *" from the bin directory solves this.
