The cylinder geom is non-standard (it's in the contrib directory of
ODE). There were apparently some disagreements about whether it was
implemented properly so it hasn't made it into the main package yet,
but someone mentioned that ode-0.6 might well have it. There is also
no pyode wrapper yet, although it shouldn't be too difficult to modify
the ccylinder one.
