[BioC] Rgraphviz for Windows

[Sean Davis]

Jeff,

I was thinking more along the lines of having a platform for building 
graphviz for display purposes, if for no other reason than most of the 
world has access to Windows, but not everyone has access to unix and a 
quick fix might be enough.  I assumed that cygwin was not a great 
answer in terms of operating with R.  If one has the graphviz binaries 
and a dot file, one can render it, which would avoid having to move 
outside the windows platform.

I like your answers better, though--don't use windows right now and 
"help is on the way!".
