Yes, initializers are run right before the first iteration (though there
is some confusion now if that means before iteration #1 or also before
the first iteration after having loaded a simulation etc -- not
important for now).

You should put the InteractingGeometryMetaEngine to initializers (sice
it needs to be run only once, the Bss doesn't change), but the
BoundingVolumeMetaEngine should be in Omega().engines, since you need to
update that at every iteration as the body moves.

Yes, you are actually encouraged to commit your stuff, the only rule is
that your code should compile so that you don't break other peoples'
builds; it doens't matter if it is functionally wrong, since other
people won't be using it for now.
