Sorry to hear you're having this issue too... but it's good to know I'm not alone in this!

Thanks a lot for the upload, this may bridge a gap in the immediate short term. However, this is not a long-term solution because...

If you are going to use the CommandBasedRobot, then last year's WPILib will certainly not work since that class was not even present back then - the problem we are currently having will change from "cannot find WPILib.a" to "linker failure - whole bunches of symbols not found". The CommandBasedRobot is but one of a list of changes that have happened in the WPILib since last year. Note: I am basing this last comment on the change-logs on the WPI first-forge page.

Thanks for the feedback, and hopefully WPI releases an update pronto!
