Can anyone lead me to a library (PD or shareware) that will allow me to
compute the distace between objects in 3-space?
In particular "minimum_distance_between_2_convex_polyhedra".
Each object is represented as a covex polyhedron, or a union of convex
polygons. 
Computing between 2 edges is very time demanding, so if you kan please
help me.
                Thanking you in anticipation
