Upgrade the Robot Operating System ports to their 1.4 aka Diamondback versions.
Detailed changelists are available on the WWW sites.

Port changes:
- distribution files are now fetched from upstream servers instead of
  using local copies from my server
- Python files are now always compiled (to .pyc and .pyo) and use Python 2.7
- devel/ros is now split in to devel/ros, devel/ros-documentation,
  devel/ros-rx, and devel-ros-comm to allow more lightweight installations
- Connect latter 3 ports to the build

- Move the core ros files from PREFIX/ros to PREFIX/ros/ros, this is
  necessary to be able to upgrade add-on packages (like ros_tutorials) in
  place due to the way rosmake searches for packages.
- Update ros/pkg-descr and ros_tutorials to reflect this

- Partially fix build with Clang (ros does not link yet)

- Makefile cleanups for devel/ros

- Bump PORTREVISIONs

- Upgrade the built-in googletest to 1.5.0
- Use ${WRKSRC}/googletest_backup instead of /var/tmp as a temporary backup
  directory if dealing with an googletest installed from ports
- Add a stacks directory, which will be used as a destination for other
  ROS packages
- Improve pkg-message
- Bump PORTREVISION
- Cleanups

Robot Operating System (ROS) is a meta-operating system for your robot.
It provides several services for a robot control system, including but
not limited to:
* language-independent and network-transparent communication
* including hardware abstraction
* low-level device control
* implementation of commonly-used functionality
* message-passing between processes

This port provides the core part of ROS: the base system and the tools
to develop additional nodes. These additional nodes can be installed
manually by using something like:
% svn co `roslocate svn nodename` nodename
  (or git clone `roslocate svn nodename` nodename)
% rosmake nodename
