[BioC] Probe IDs VS Probeset IDs in Yeast2 annotation

There is a 1-1 correspondance between the indices in the matrix and  
the (x,y) position of the probe on the chip. See the functions xy2i  
and i2xy for details. Converting from (x,y) to indices gives you a  
unique identifier instead of 2-dimensional identifier. It has the side  
product of being very useful for indexing.

So the only way you can get from your list of probes to the numbers in  
the matrix is if you have (x,y) positions for the probes.
