There is a memory leak in Freenect2::openDevice.
If it fails before line 740 the PacketPipeline will not be deleted. It could also happen when passing a wrong serial number.
If it fails after line 740 the PacketPipeline will be deleted by the destructor of Freenect2DeviceImpl.

I added the necessary delete instructions. We should note somewhere in the documentation that libfreenect2 takes over control of the pipeline object (including destruction) and that it should never be used or deleted by user code afterwards.

For the moment, could you just add a comment in libfreenect2.hpp? Then I can merge it in one go.

While we're on the subject of memory mangement, you could also add a comment on the FrameListener::onNewFrame() method that the frame pointer must be release in there.

There are probably some more parts where comments are useful. But this is out of the focus of this PR.

OK, merged. We'll probably need another comments/docs PR anyway.
