[BioC] alternate /tmp for Bioconductor install

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

It could in principle be scritable and might even be a little worthwhile 
to do it. But basically the BioC version number is corresponds to a 
whole list of individual package numbers. As sson as you move away from 
the getBioC script you can have a big mix of development and release 
level packages.
