I fully understand (at this point) the MICASim Physics module and how it
interacts; thanks to ter_afk (on IRC-- I wish I knew his real name!) for
some pointers on getting the message back that the scene needs to get
updated info from the physics sim.

I have figured out a bunch of what needs to happen, but not all of it.
Could somebody point me to where I'd look to understand what taints are
all about WRT a physics engine?

I have various interests in physics engines, what with being a
physicist and the last one to hack the MICA code....
