Why? (my usecase)
I am using catkin_virtualenv to manage my Python dependencies and XML files to describe a simulation environment. Each file can have multilpe scenarios or things that can happen in that environment. There is a library for parsing these XML files, which I would like to use to retrieve the set of possible (environment, scenario) tuples and allow each of them to be selected via dynamic_reconfigure.
Why? (perhaps more common usecase)
As I found on answers.ros.org, some users might be interested in using the messages of the current package in config files.
