// boxBoxDistance:
//
// description:
//    this computes info that can be used for the collision response of two boxes.  when the boxes
//    do not overlap, the points are set to the closest points of the boxes, and a positive
//    distance between them is returned.  if the boxes do overlap, a negative distance is returned
//    and the points are set to two points that would touch after the boxes are translated apart.
//    the contact normal gives the direction to repel or separate the boxes when they touch or
//    overlap (it's being approximated here as one of the 15 "separating axis" directions).
//
// returns:
//    positive or negative distance between two boxes.
//
// args:
//    vmVector3& normal: set to a unit contact normal pointing from box A to box B.
//
//    BoxPoint& boxPointA, BoxPoint& boxPointB:
//       set to a closest point or point of penetration on each box.
//
//    Box boxA, Box boxB:
//       boxes, represented as 3 half-widths
//
//    const vmTransform3& transformA, const vmTransform3& transformB:
//       box transformations, in world coordinates
//
//    float distanceThreshold:
//       the algorithm will exit early if it finds that the boxes are more distant than this
//       threshold, and not compute a contact normal or points.  if this distance returned
//       exceeds the threshold, all the other output data may not have been computed.  by
//       default, this is set to MAX_FLOAT so it will have no effect.
