Orocos Toolchain 2.1.1 released

A new bug-fix release for the Orocos toolchain is available on the Orocos.org
website. The noteworthy fixes are:

* RTT loads typekits also when not using the deployer application. The plugin
loading should be more robust and have better error reporting.
* A new "orocreate-pkg <packagename>" script that sets up cmake files and
template files for creating orocos components, typekits and services. This
script is part of OCL.
* Various fixes in deployment: allow to import packages ( subdirectories of
RTT_COMPONENT_PATH), fixes in port and peer connections.
* The UseOrocosRTT cmake macros now install components in a subdirectory named
'projectname' of RTT_COMPONENT_PATH . You need to use import("projectname") to
load them.
* Some linking fixes in typekits generated by typegen. orogen is still to be
considered broken in this release. You'll have to wait for Toolchain 2.2.0 for
an update.

See the http://www.orocos.org/toolchain page for download links or the
bootstrap script.

Users of the bootstrap.sh script[1] can just do a 'autoproj update' to get
these latest fixes.

There's also an extra note for ROS users. The build of the toolchain is
different when the ROS_ROOT environment variable is detected. This build mode
is still considered experimental, and may not be able to build the complete
toolchain. In that case, you can report your findings to the Orocos-dev mailing
list or unset ROS_ROOT, to do a normal build/install cycle.
