[BioC] alternative to matchprobes

[kloytyno at mappi.helsinki.fi]

Dear all,

I've found out that matchprobes has been deprecated and the function  
in question has been moved to Biostrings package, that also has been  
at least partially deprecated. Biostrings manual suggested functions  
matchPDict and vmatchPDict, and other pattern matching functions I  
found were grep-family of functions and pmatch. I'd love to hear your  
suggestions and information on what to use instead of matchprobes. Any  
help is much appreciated.

best,
Katja
