/// Constraint similar to ODE Universal Joint
/// has 2 rotatioonal degrees of freedom, similar to Euler rotations around Z (axis 1)
/// and Y (axis 2)
/// Description from ODE manual : 
/// "Given axis 1 on body 1, and axis 2 on body 2 that is perpendicular to axis 1, it keeps them perpendicular. 
/// In other words, rotation of the two bodies about the direction perpendicular to the two axes will be equal."
