[BioC] nearest() for GRanges

Hi Valerie,

Indeed good news.

However, I am finding that this newest version is not yet available view
biocLite from repository at bioconductor.org.  I am still picking up 1.8.6
with biocLite('GenomicRanges').

Should I expect to wait, or perhaps is there a 'push' at your end that
needs attending?

Please advise if I'm expecting it to appear before its time ;)

Thanks!

Malcolm
