I already created a BFL typekit
(http://svn.mech.kuleuven.be/repos/orocos/trunk/kul-ros-pkg/stacks/orocos...).
So far there is still a problem when writing matrices during reporting
(there are still brackets in the report file), but all the other
things seem to work.

Steven Bellens and Ruben Smits also have the KDL typekit for 2.0
(http://svn.mech.kuleuven.be/repos/orocos/trunk/kul-ros-pkg/stacks/orocos...)

PS: For me, the easiest way to be sure that your typekit is loaded is
to add it to the RTT_COMPONENT_PATH environment variable (your typekit
should be in a directory types, and add the directory one higher than
types to the RTT_COMPONENT_PATH)
