I am having a similar issue.  However, in my instance the 'dynamic objects'
in the map are other robots (real).  It is my theory that robot localization
would be significantly improved with the input of other robot positions to
the map.  What kind of driver would you recommend developing (modifications
to map and/or localize driver, modifications to LocalizeProxy and/or
MapProxy, new driver)?

Data route/explanation:
1 - Robot(does localization) -> CustomProgram (uses information to tell
robots where to move) -> Stage (updates map with a 'simulated' robot
position for visualization purposes)

Stage and/or playernav have the position of all of the robots, but the
robots do not know about each other when they attempt to localize, and I am
looking for a way to pass this data to them.

I am willing to provide (or accept) code when complete.
