I am happy to report that rosmake under Groovy (Debian install) is now 
much faster.  A stack that used to take 149 seconds (2 minutes 29 
seconds) to build now takes only 22 seconds which is 6x faster than before.

If I am reading the bug reports correctly (#218 
<https://github.com/ros/rosdep/issues/218> and #222 
<https://github.com/ros/rosdep/pull/222>), thanks goes to Timo Röhling 
for the patch and Tully for the merge.
