Assertion errors aint no exceptions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I find that throughout the JBox2d code there are assertions used in placed 
where exceptions are the right thing to use, e.g.,
assert (2 <= count && count <= Settings.maxPolygonVertices);
This is especially odd if one does not enable assertions in the vm and code 
crashes.

Yes, but unnecessary ifs will cause the engine to perform slower.  The 
assertions are more for validating that the engine is running correctly 
internally while developing.  Production code should not use them.
