[Bioc-devel] FYI: Windows build of affyPLM devel has been broken for a while

Hi Henrik --

The problem appears to be that 'bitmaap / dev.off' on windows spawns
ghostscript to perform the implied graphics file conversion. R does
not wait for the process to return, and Sweave cleans up before
ghostscript completes.

The more-or-less ugly solution is to insert a Sys.sleep(10) in the
vignette. Whether to insert this, and the duration of sleep, entirely
depends on the build system and vignette. For instance, MAplots.Rnw
uses bitmap and needs to sleep, but QualityAssess.Rnw uses bitmap but
does not need to sleep.
