[Bioc-devel] Error when using read.450k.exp from minfi 1.13.1

This was reported a while ago by Dan Tenenbaum, forgotten about by me and
fixed tonight in minfi v1.13.2

The previous use of the read.450k.exp function, where there was both a
  base = SOMETHING
and a targets object (created by read.450k.sheet) with a targets$Basename
with values like
  SOMETHING/SOMETHINGELSE
is no longer support (it used to be that the base argument was ignored).
User now just have to do

sheet = read.450k.sheet(ARGS)
rgset = read.450k.exp(targets = sheet)

We now support giving a base argument in case targets$Basename does not
contain the full path.

And this time I hope it works....

Best,
Kasper
