[BioC] GOstats-compatible annotation package for Helicobacter pylori 26995

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Klaus-Peter,

The normal way to make annotation packages is to use the SQLForge
functions in the AnnotationDbi package.  But before you can do that we
have to support that organism with some code to maintain an intermediate
database.  I wish I could tell you that we support H. pylori but we
don't yet.  Currently the only microrganisms we support are E. coli,
yeast and  the malaria parasite.   Perhaps you could help me add H.
pylori to the list of supported organisms?  Please email me about this
so  we can work on a solution together.

  Marc
