[BioC] adding KEGG annotations with ABPkBuilder from E.coli

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Robert,

I have just merged a patch into place for this.  You should be able to
get a new version of both the annotate and Category packages soon which
should resolve this.  Please let me know if there are any other issues.
