Good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I was imagining a new package
defining both the messages and some utility functions.
Putting just the messages in sensor_msgs is better. There might end up
being two or three messages, depending on how people decide to
structure it.

I just realized that Ken Tossell already has a gps_common package in
the umd-ros-pkg (University of Maryland). Looks like it only has a
message definition right now.
Whether we call it that or something similar, should it be a separate
stack or part of some existing one?
