[BioC] color venn diagrams

[Francois Pepin]

Hi Yannick,

I think that you'd be better off with illustrator or some other tool, 
especially if it's a one-off.

Otherwise, you could dive into the code to add it yourself. It shouldn't 
be that complicated, but it might not be worth the effort.

Also, please keep the discussions on list. That way other people can 
chime it and it's archived, so someone else looking for it two years 
from now could find this thread again.
