[BioC] Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array

[cstrato]

Dear Hans-Ulrich

Although I think that there is a cdfenv for the HuGene array, which can 
be used with 'affy', it may always be a good idea to try different packages.

I believe that for the HuGene array my package 'xps' may have some 
advantages:
- it parses the original Affymetrix CLF, PGF and annotation files
- in addition to RMA normalization you can also do DABG and even MAS5 
detection calls
- it works on computers with 1GB RAM only

In  any case I would be very interested in user's feedback, and would 
appreciate if you would give it a try.

Best regards
Christian
