[KDL] What happened to motion/trajectory_composite.h ?

A not so old program uses this class but it has disapeared from the trunk/kdl
library. Is this accidental or intentional ? What replacement class
should be used ?

Ok, maybe there is something wrong with my eyes but:

i cannot find this file in old (pre 1.x) orocos-versions either. So i keep
thinking these files never existed in any official oro_geometry package or
kdl-version

I hereby include an old version of this file (from LRL, the precursor to KDL).
Hope this helps....

It was in fact my error, not to include this class into KDL...
I immediately include trajectory_stationary ( a somewhat trivial class) of the
same category also not in KDL.

Please CC also to my email adres if you have questions. It will ensure a
faster response.

I've no idea why it's gone. Probably accidental removal. Can you give the
latest revision where it's still available?

I checked the 0.1 and 0.2 release, both do not contain the file. Are you sure
the file ever existed? Maybe you are refering to motion/path_composite.h?
