[BioC] Chromosome location for probes

[Robert Gentleman]

Well, yes and no.

The useProbeInfo vignette in the annotate package shows how to find 
locations in gene sequences. To switch to chromosomes is not hard, you 
would need to obtain and read in the chromosomal sequence and do the 
matching (worry about both strands).
  the packages: matchprobes and to a greater extent Biostrings have 
appropriate sequence matching tools - please feel free to contribute 
more polished versions, should you develop them. In my experience it is 
very fast [you could also just use regular string matching, but be 
careful as some of those will only return the first match, by default, 
and you will want all matches].
