From the list I mentioned, Xavier Provot has some good and not too
hard explanations on using a combination of implicit and explicit
integration to increase the integration step size. Also, "Large Steps
in Cloth Simulation" by Baraff & Witkin is a definite must-read.

Glad if I can help even a little. I've been wanting to do a more or
less complete physics simulation engine for years now, and so far have
not found the time. Seeing as how particle systems, cloth simulations,
deformable bodies, IK systems and what not spring up every week or so
really gladdens my heart - at least *someone* will do it :)
