[BioC] Gene list ideogram

[Tobias Straub]

Hi Dan,

it is difficult to come up with a solution that fits everyone's needs.  
i setup a plot function using the 'grid' package. good thing about  
grid is that you can easily create viewports with a custom coordinate  
system. in addition plotting of graphical primitives like boxes  
(=genes) is accomplished easily.

there should be a short introduction/tutorial for grid that should be  
sufficient to get you going.
