Meeting agenda

if possible mimic command line api from pr2_mechanism_control's mech.py
- ```
gazebo_model spawn robot_description [current options]
gazebo_model kill pr2_model
gazebo_model list (returns model names in gazebo)
```
- spawning robots with non-unique name errors out with return value 1
- move spawning/killing models functionalities into a gazebo plugin, advertise as a ros service call.
- deal with spawning duplicate model names more gracefully.
- remove dump-to-file option from service and make a separate binary urdf2gazebo since it's mostly used in debug mode.
- document namespace usage better (artifically injecting namespaces in ros plugin handles)
