pyrocket is incompatible with OpenCV 2.2 and later

[Alex Wauck]

The OpenCV Python interface changed in 2.2. pyrocket tries to use the old version and fails (i.e. crashes on startup). The last commit to the pyrocket SVN repository was over a year ago, so I doubt this will be fixed upstream. It should probably be removed from the repository, since it can't work.

I was able to "fix" pyrocket so that it no longer attempts to use OpenCV. Granted, it no longer offers any video functionality whatsoever, but at least it doesn't crash, and it still seems to be able to control the device.

This package can probably limp along for now with that patch.
