[BioC] package for pathway analysis

[Marc Carlson]

Just to add one more little thing to Wolfgangs terrific post, the
GOstats package also has some nice vignettes that can get you started
using this stuff with GO which is a very common thing people want to do
when they are asking these kinds of questions.  And it is also possible
to do a similar thing using KEGG annotations which might be a good match
for your metabolic pathway questions.
