[BioC] Citation of R, Bioconductor and Affy

[Robert Gentleman]

Thanks for both asking and citing the software. Please substitute the
Genome Biology paper (we need to update the FAQ) as a citation for
Bioconductor. Otherwise, it looks correct to me.....although Rafael
may have a better indication for affy. 

 I would also like to mention that as of R 2.0.0 the citation function
 should report appropriate citations for R and all packages can create
 their own citation entry (check the man page). Users are encouraged
 to appropriately cite the software that they use.
