[BioC] motif searching with variable length gaps

Hi Heather,

Unfortunately, the cosmo package doesn't have a functionality for this
kind of a search. It is always assumed that the shared motif is of the
same length.

If I specify a range of motif widths with the cosmo function, it uses the width with the lowest BIC value and searches for motifs of only that width.  My dilemma is that the motifs I'm looking for are of variable width.
