[ros-users] [rfc] split turtle_teleop in turtle_teleop_joy and turtle_teleop_key

[Melonee Wise]

Hi Rene-

The turtle_teleop package is meant to be a purely instructional package for
people trying to learn ROS. I'm not sure why you would be compiling it
except for tutorials which need both the key board and joystick
functionality. Can you give me situation in which you need one but not the
other?
