Get car position offset from XML

[Jean-Christophe Hoelt]

Position of the car is currently determined by the tCarElt position matrix.

However, a 0.7 offset on Y axis is added for the car not to be inside the road.

(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openracing/openracing/trunk/annotate/head%3A/src/graphic/OAvatars.cs : line 88)

This offset, instead of being hard-coded in Torcs, probably is available on the car's XML file (or maybe it's just half the size of the bounding box?)

Fix this!

We can keep their little hacks for now. Let's focus on the big things.

Forget the above comment. I misunderstood what you were saying.
