00031  * However, for some reason the ALBrokerManager singleton is different in
00032  * the naofawkes NaoQi module that embeds Fawkes, and the nao plugin that
00033  * runs inside Fawkes.
00034  * This single extern declaration is intended to transport the broker from
00035  * the NaoQi module to the Fawkes plugin.
