Notes: This function does perform a threat level check. This allows vehicle scripts to always check this and not worry about exceptions.

The value returned is the name of the physics engine specified in the OpenSim.ini file ("physics = XXX") and the version number. It is usually "OpenDynamicsEngine 1.0", "BulletSim 1.0", or "ubODE 1.0".
