[BioC] Limma without eBayes correction

Hi Daniel,

I have had to do this occasionally. See section 10.2, Fitted Model 
Objects. It shows how to get the ordinary t-stats from the fit object 
after calling just lmFit().  This is how ebayes calculates the 
p-values, so just substitute in the ordinary t-values and fit$df.residual:

out$p.value <- 2 * pt(-abs(out$t), df = df.total)

Cheers,
Jenny
