[BioC] reposTools 1.10.0 pointing to BioC1.7 not 1.8

Seth et al,

After installing R-2.3.0 (release) plus BioC using getBioC() (default
packages), which reported using BioC 1.8 and installed what would seem
to be the correct version of reposTools (1.10.0), using reposTools
results in setting the "repositories2" option to paths that include
BIOCRel1.7 rather than BIOCRel1.8.

I'm happy to flood you with system details if needed, but it seems not
to be architechure/OS dependent - I see the behavior both on solaris10
and on a windows (XP) system.

This seems to derive from 1.7 being specifies in the zzz.R file of the
distribution.
