Thanks, I did manage to find this code with google and it solved my 
problems. The things it helped with was how to define GoalHandle and the 
use of boost::bind in the callback register functions.

A question about actionlib. When do you go to ABORTED from PREEMPTING? 
Is it when you get a cancel request but before you have handled it the 
execution of the action is aborted? And the same for going to SUCCEEDED 
from PREEMPTING?
