genmsg: generating code from ros .msg format
=============================================
Project ``genmsg`` exists in order to decouple code generation from
``.msg`` & ``.srv`` format files from the parsing of these files and
from impementation details of the build system (project directory
layout, existence or nonexistence of utilities like ``rospack``,
values of environment variables such as ``ROS_PACKAGE_PATH``):
i.e. none of these are required to be set in any particular way.
