[BioC] hyperGTest

[Naomi Altman]

Dear James and Seth,

I downloaded the latest version of R yesterday.  I then followed the 
directions on www.bioconductor.org and typed.

source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

This did not install GOstats, so I pulled down the install packages 
menu and selected GOstats and gotools.

Since Matrix was not installed, I looked for it in bioconductor and 
CRAN and did not find it.  help.search did not reveal any clues.

I guess the problem now is to find the missing "Matrix" 
package.  Please advise.
