Create catkin rqt plugin package for ROS

Author: Samuel Bachmann

This is a very basic script to create a standard rqt plugin for ROS. The script will generate a ready to use rqt package including source code files. There are some input arguments supported to customize the package a bit. By setting -y the script generates a rqt package in python.

./catkin_create_rqt rqt_example std_msgs sensor_msgs -c Example -n rqt_example -f example -p /home/user/catkin_ws/src
