[ros-users] auto start ROS launch script on boot up

[Blaise Gassend]

I usually have the /etc/init.d script only prepare the ros environment
and then rosrun a script in the ros tree, which is the real init.d
script. That way the /etc/init.d script should never have to change,
and the effective init.d script (the one in the ros tree) gets
versioned along with the ROS packages. This extra level of indirection
makes package management a lot easier in my experience, especially
when multiple people are playing with different versions of the
packages.
