hi Christian,

The wiki is editable by anyone who is logged in, and anyone can create
themselves an account.  So when you see something that's wrong, and
you know what it should be, feel free to fix it yourself.

But you need to be careful that the fix is correct.   In this case,
the existing documentation is correct for boxturtle, and the change
that you suggest is (nearly*) correct for cturtle.  So the
documentation should be updated to give both forms, annotated by
version.

* I say nearly correct, because starting with ROS 1.1.8, you can
switch to rosbuild_include():
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosbuild/CMakeLists#rosbuild_include .  Of
course, actionlib_msgs will need to start exporting cmake_directory
appropriately.
