playerv and stage

[John McLean]

Just a quick bit: if you want to try out playerv, the easiest way to do so 
is this (you'll need both player and stage installed):

$ player /usr/share/stage/worlds/everything.cfg &
$ playerv -h localhost -p 6665 --laser:0 --position2d:0

The first command should start up a stage simulation window.  The second 
starts up playerv in a small window with it subscribed to the laser and 
position2d device proxies.  To command the robot, go to 
Devices->position2d:0 (stage) in the playerv window and check command. 
Then, just click on the robot in the playerv window, and drag the mouse around
to move.

Enjoy :)

I'll work on the review again for the package today. Hopefully we can
get these in the the trees this week.
