[BioC] package R.oo (or R.00?), within package R.classes, and function robustPca

R.oo (as in kangaRoo) is on CRAN and as Sean explains it will install
if you install BioC package 'aroma.light' via biocLite("aroma.light").

FYI, It is correct that R.oo is/was part of the R.classes bundle, but
the latter is obsolete since many years.
