[BioC] Problem when running check

[Martin Morgan]

Hi Kenneth --

This is perhaps a small issue in R, and a solution is actively under 
investigation

Probably the warning is spurious, but the thing that is triggering it is 
when a generic is defined in several different packages that your 
package imports. For instance, flowViz imports flowCore and Biobase, 
both of which have a generic 'description'. One possible solution is to 
replace

import(SomePkg)

with

import(SomePkg, someFunc)

i.e., to more selectively include required functions.
