yes you and I are ahead of the build system -- Rsamtools wants
normalizePath to be in base, but R-devel on the build system was not (it
has been updated very recently) current enough for that. So you were
getting the last Rsamtools that the 'devel' portion of the build system
correctly built, v. 1.1.17.

This is being straightened out, and should be back to normal over the
next day or so. The short-term solution is to install Rsamtools from
source, from an svn checkout
