Well, we want something similar. A PCL version stand-alone that could be used 
by ros. 

I have seen the github code, and it doesn't seems that use the ROS stuff, 
although is required by cmake. From a ROS full installation (188) packages I 
have compiled 106, considering that pcl is not built or installed. 

I hope to have something functional some day ...

Thanks for the info.
