[ros-users] manifest.xml version and distribution information.

[Ken Conley]

Hi Konrad,

As Tully notes, we don't version individual packages, only stacks. We
used to include versions numbers in stack.xml files, but came to the
opinion that it was a mistake as you would get version disagreements
between the stack.xml, which is not authoritative, and the
CMakeLists.txt file, which is. We decided to just maintain one version
number in the CMakeLists.txt for now, though this will change once our
install target develops more.

The "rosversion" command for ROS 1.3 has been updated to output the
version number of any installed stack.
