[BioC] GCRMA Normalization Differences between Windows and MAC

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

I am not following gcrma very closely, but this exact question seems
like a question that has been discussed in at least 5 lengthy threads
over the last year or so.  So I would strongly advise spending time
looking at the email archives.
