[BioC] making ExpressionSet from ArrayExpress

[Steffen Durinck]

Hi Wolfgang,

The closest to this is probably the RMAGEML package which enables one to 
read MAGE-ML files from ArrayExpress and convert them into an 
ExpressionSet.  However this package has limitations: one has to go to 
the ArrayExpress website and manually download the different MAGE-ML 
files that are needed, it only works for spotted arrays, and the MAGE-ML 
format is currently being replaced by a quite different format MAGE-TAB, 
for which the RMAGEML package can not be used anymore.

Cheers,
Steffen
