[ros-dev] rosapps

[Aleksey Bragin]

So, are there any objections in separating thirdparty, additional,  
sometimes helpful stuff into addons module, and having all apps which  
exist in Windows, but aren't required for booting into rosapps?

Please, let's come to a solution, because having such a trash can  
which rosapps is now is unbearable.
