Dear Hugo,
You are correct that you will need to do some pre-processing of the CEL
files before you can use GWASTools. GWASTools begins with called
genotypes in plain text format, and the vignettes can help you convert
from plain text into NetCDF for use with the GWASTools functions.
I don't have any experience with calling genotypes from CEL format, but
I suspect you might want to use the "oligo" package. This page gives
you an outline of options:

Hopefully someone on this list who is familiar with CEL files can give
you additional comments. If you have follow-up questions, please copy
the bioconductor mailing list (bioconductor at r-project.org) and use an
informative subject line.
best wishes,
Stephanie
