[BioC] XML Windows binary package added to 2.2/extra repos (was Re: biocLite() failed to get CRAN package...)

I just added the Windows binary package for XML to

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.2/extra

You can now download and install this version of the Windows binary 
package using biocLite("XML") on Windows with R 2.7.0. Since CRAN 
maintains versions of the XML package in source and Mac OS X binary 
form, only the Windows binary package version will be stored in the 
bioconductor extra repository.
