[BioC] Query regarding matchprobes package

[Wolfgang Huber]

Hi Kasper

the makeProbePackage function is now in AnnotationDbi, and the probe 
packages are of course still being produced, see
http://www.bioconductor.org/help/bioc-views/devel/data/annotation
	
The transition already happened a couple of releases ago, and was 
apparently transparent to you - as intended :)

	Best wishes
	Wolfgang
