#131: better error message / behaviour when Ruby libraries are missing their C++
extensions

 The current issue is that, if one tries to use orocos.rb while the package
 did not get built (for whatever reason), then he gets a LoadError from
 Ruby.

 A better behaviour would be to suggest the autoproj stanza to run.

 Resolution:

  - do a begin ... rescue LoadError in specific places in common Rock
 packages.
  - re-raise the exception with a new message: "package XXX has probably
 not been built yet, or failed to build. Try running autoproj build XXX"

 Impacted packages:

  - gui/vizkit: C++ extension
  - orocos.rb: C++ extension rorocos_ext, typelib
  - orogen: typelib
  - pocolog: typelib
  - roby: C++ extension bgl and marshalling
