Fixed.

Should I set a different value by default?

Indeed, looks like ode can be built (optionally) with libccd support.

If ode is going to use libccd and libccd is an independent project, ode 
should not be embedded a copy of libccd without a very good reason. 
AFAIK, the recommended way would be to patch ode to get rid of the 
libccd copy.
