This is the first installmant of a new push to formally announce new
packages offered by Bioconductor (whether authored by Biocore members or
contributed by the outside community).  

Over the last week we've had three new packages appear in BioC-devel for
the upcoming 1.4 release.  More information on all of these packages can
be found by going to the "Developmental Packages" section of the
Bioconductor website.
