[ros-users] communicating with windows

[Ken Conley]

FYI: it would probably be good to start generating patches for these
changes soon. When we begin work on REP 100 (soon), there will be a
lot of changes to the underlying ROS code base.

Feel free to update the Windows wiki page. In fact, it might be better
to host the instructions on the ROS.org wiki itself so that other
users can continue to contribute updates as they have on this e-mail
thread.

Also, I noticed that you require a separate Linux install to use the
rosmaster -- what's the integration issue here? We've previously had
people use the rosmaster on Windows just by changing the path loader
(roslib.load_manifest). Assuming that rospack is accessible, it should
be even easier to use the rosmaster, so I'm curious as to what the
issues are. I know that the roscore can't be run on Windows due to
roslaunch, but rosmaster can be run separately.
