getBioC has been updated: When using R 2.1.x, it accepts a destdir
argument, similar to install.packages and friends, that will be used
as the path to write downloaded packages to.  

This provides an alternative to setting TMPDIR.  

We'll be working on an improvement to allow a "resume" after an
interupted installation.

Best,
