[BioC] Package xps - Problem accessing README file

[cstrato]

Dear Dan, dear Henrik,

Thank you Henrik for your suggestion, this is a great idea.

Thank you Dan for your suggestion to give more information on the 
DESCRIPTION file. At the moment I have decided to leave it as is. Next 
time I can point users to the current topic so that they are able to 
access the README file as Henrik has suggested.

As a side note, since README is one of the mostly used files for almost 
everything, I was always wondering why R and/or Bioconductor does not 
force package developers to submit a README file with their packages.

Best regards
Christian
