Integration of 3rd party physics engine

John,

I saw that it's planned for early 2011 to integrate a 3rd party physics engine. Would you guys consider maybe doing this earlier?
Or did anyone integrate a 2d physics engine into TX yet? I saw on Farseer forums that a long tiem ago someone worked on it and also found a few old threads here, but no result.

I've already integrated Farseer into a Silverlight game engine that I wrote and can say that it is not too difficult. I'm sure we can have it integrated much sooner. After each release, the schedule is re-evaluated and updated. Now that we're closer to the next release, I should be able to give you a more solid answer in a few weeks.

How would it differ from the physics engine already included with TX?
