[Bioc-devel] Linking to zlibbioc results in erroneous BUILD report

This is a problem that is plaguing the build system. Notice the last

   Warning: cannot remove prior installation of package 'zlibbioc'

and also the large number of windows failures here

The build system starts by removing all packages, then building up from 
scratch. But the removal of zlibbioc failed (most of the package was 
removed, but not all) because a rogue process is holding a reference to 
the dll. The rogue process continues to hold a reference to zlibbioc, 
and the installation of the new version of zlibbioc also fails. So the 
build system is left without zlibbioc.

There is nothing the individual developer can do; we will take more 
drastic measures to address this on our side.
