[GenABEL-dev] abstract for UseR! 2013

[Yurii Aulchenko]

Thanks for comments Lennart!

I am going to add

In this talk, I will describe the \pkg{GenABEL} project in general
and will also introduce some of the packages of the suite.

A bit of problem being using 'in this talk' while I am not sure if I am
getting a poster :)
