> flowCore should not depend on ks anymore

Thanks Mike,
that's good news. Let me just second the opinion that getting rid of any
"windowing system" dependency in flowCore is a good choice. Last week, I
was trying to get a GenePattern module to work on a server at BROAD, and I
needed flowCore for its FCS I/O functionality (only), which proved to be
quite difficult due to the indirect dependency on rgl.
Cheers, Josef
