When i try to compile collada_urdf i get the following linking error:

I'm using the gold linker, but i dont see any -lboost_system added to the 
linker command. Should this be exported by the colladadom package?

Adding rosbuild_link_boost(urdf_to_collada system filesystem) to the 
CMakeLists.txt of collada_urdf fixes the problem, but I don't think this is 
what you want?
