[ros-release] ROS Groovy EOL Planning

[Shaun Edwards]

All,

I was able to recreate the problem with arm navigation experimental on
Quantal and solve it.  I've issue a PR, here:
https://github.com/willowgarage/arm_navigation_experimental/pull/2

Rosdistro still points to kforge, so I'm not sure how this will get merged
in.

Please let me know how else I can help,

Shaun
