[BioC] Mac binaries

[James Wettenhall]

Hi,

I am a Windows/Linux user but have lots of biology clients who 
are Mac users.  They generally don't have the Developer Tools 
installed, so what is the best way for me to help them to 
install a package like "affy" which has C source code?  Does 
anyone provide Mac binaries for commonly used Bioconductor 
packages like affy upon each Release?  I can ask our I.T. 
administrator to upgrade R and the developer tools on a shared 
Mac machine so I can build R packages for Mac users (which I 
only do occasionally), but I'm wondering if there's an easier 
way?  Preferably not requiring admin privileges.

I need affy, and would like affyPLM and gcrma also

Thanks,
James
