[BioC] Affymetrix gtype_cel_to_pq

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Basically the Fusion SDK (which is the File SDK mentioned below) is  
implemented through the affxparser package.

It works on Mac OS, Linux'es but currently not on Solaris and  
Windows. The problem seems to be tied to low-level differences in the  
standard libraries. We are working with the people from affy to  
resolve these issues.

But as I said, if Linux/MacOS is ok for you, you are good to go.
