The configtool shipped with orocos hasn't been updated for 1007 days
(according to the svn history) now.  As the binary is shipped using (a
lot of) dynamic libraries [1], it should come as no surprise that this
generates a lot of segfaults using current linux distributions.

However, up-to-date versions of the tool can be downloaded from the
ecoscentric website.  Personally, I'm using such a version too without
any problems (my system is an up-to-date Debian testing). [2]

I could upload this version into trunk, but I think the only proper
way of shipping configtool with orocos across different linux distros
would be to use a version which is statically linked.
