[BioC] ReadAffy(widget=TRUE) not working with R2.5?

[Martin Morgan]

Hi Paul --

As an update on this, as you guessed, read.AnnotatedDataFrame does not
have widget support. Partly I wasn't sure whether this was used at
all, so didn't know how much time to invest in it. If this is a pretty
common way of reading data, then I'll try to provide functionality for
the release.
