[BioC] About ArrayExpress MAGE-TAB tools

[audrey]

Hi LiGang,

We are currently developing such a package. It is simply named 
ArrayExpress and is currently on the Bioconductor svn but not on the 
development branch yet. Hopefully it should be moved to the Bioconductor 
development branch very soon but I still have some issues to fix before.
The ArrayExpress package takes an ArrayExpress experiment ID as an input 
and creates an ExpressionSet, an AffyBatch or a NChannelSet as an output.
