[R] EpiR.base - namespace changes

[ml-r-help@epigenomics.com]

Hi,

as some might have noticed over the last few days a variing but large number of
unit tests failed. This should now be resolved.

The changes made to the namespace exports aim at provideing a clear,
maintainable (and thus minimal) set of public methods availabel for use by other
packages and at the R prompt.
Changes are motivated by recent changes in R devel which indicate a series of
issues we have to overcome for the R 2.3.0 release.

For the future, please
 - check the NAMESPACE file to find out which functions and methods are public
   and use them, only.
   (If you have to rely on a private method do so via the prefix EpiR.base:::
    although this is not advised and not guaranteed to work at all times.)

  - make an effort to check for meaningful method names for new methods,
    check if a similar name has already been in use for the same task and
    reuse it in order to keep the method list concise.

Package maintainers for the remaining packages should update their NAMESPACE
files over the next few weeks.


Regards,

  Matthias
