Did you have a look at <tf/transform_datatypes.h>? That's what I usually
use for these transformations and it wraps most code nicely for you
without depending on KDL.
"createQuaternionFromRPY" could be useful for you, and you can also use
"quat.getRPY(roll, pitch,yaw)" as a tf::Quaternion is simply a bullet
quaternion.


Cheers,
