[BioC] cosine similarity

[joe j]

Thanks a lot Achilleas, Kevin,

Kevin, "distanceMatrix" funciton works great, although distance is
calculated across columns-but I guess a simple transpose would do the
trick.

I compared the result (for two rows) with the function written by
Achilleas. They seem to be identical except that one is distance, the
other is correlation.

Thanks very much, again!
