Some points on the libccd vs bullet:

* libccd implements collision detection between convex shapes. Bullet
   is a physics engine that solves equations of motion.

* At the most abstract level, Bullet computes F=ma and libccd computes
   when and where two shapes overlap.

* libccd provides a subset of what the bullet collision library does
   (though bullet also includes dynamics).

Hope it helps.
