In general, I don't believe rospack supports this usage. For the particular
case of rosemacs, since the path is only used to load it within emacs, you
would just need to change your .emacs file, e.g.,
(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/my/rosemacs")
(require 'rosemacs)
It might also be convenient to make that directory's basename something
else, like rosemacs-trunk, so things like roscd will work with it.
