Hi ros users,

Ok, something more of an official announcement for the
win-ros-pkg<http://code.google.com/p/win-ros-pkg/>
 repository.

We have a mingw compiled ros working (minimally for windows) and also
started a stack to handle development of the tools and utilities. Some links
if you are interested in diving in::

Note that this is only early days yet - only the core packages have been
patched and we're also working on native msvc support, but any and all are
welcome to test and even better, contribute.

Regards,
Daniel Stonier.
