Hi Timo,

thanks a million, this tool is perfect! I just went ahead and fixed all
errors/warnings it found in my catkin packages (and there were quite a
few...).

One nice addition would be to have a wiki page somewhere that explained
in more detail what each error/warning means, and what the usual ways
to fix them are.

Cheers,
Martin
