[BioC] GOstats testing using EntrezGene IDs not in chip-specific annotation package?

It already does :) At least when I use hyperGTest() from the Category
package for GO/KEGG/Chrlocation, it works fine with org.Mm.eg.db. I
actually don't know whether there are any differences between hyperGTest()
from GOstats and the one from Category.
