Clock server as nodelet

I have a nodelet that should act as clock server when it is started in simulation mode.

My problem is that if I set "use_sim_time" to true the "nodelet_manager" does not start because there is no clock source until my nodelet is started.

How can I solve this "snake biting its tale" problem?

Set use_sim_time = false
Start nodelet_manager
Set use_sim_time = true
Load clock server nodelet into nodelet_manager

https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/issue... describes this (posted a day later, a link back to this question would have been nice), and then there was a PR fix https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/pull/... to use wall clock that was merged.
