[BioC] Problem with installation of RCurl

[Martin Morgan]

Hi Shiliang --

This is because of a recent change in the development version of R. We
will update Bioconductor's binary distribution of RCurl shortly
(hopefully later today). Another solution is to use R version 2.3.1,
rather than R.2.4.0 (under development).
