Note that it installed Biobase .... getBioC, by default will keep on
trucking if it can't get the dependencies.  To stop that behaviour, use
'force=FALSE'

Well, there is code in Biobase (not sure if we wantto keep it as such
...) that will not allow Biobase to load unless all of its dependencies
are installed.  Since genefilter was not installed, it won't load.

Now.  As to why genefilter was not installed -> I unconvered a problem w/
the Win32 genefilter, I believe that it is fixed but will keep an eye on
it in the future.  It should be fixed now.
