[GenABEL-dev] function for conversion a plink format file to a GenABEL format file

[Maarten Kooyman]

snpStats does have a GPL-3 licence, so we can use the code  and do
whatever we want with it so long as we keep it under the same licence
and give credit to to the owner/writer of the code.

Is it possible to adjust the snpStats code to dump the genotypes of the
bed file directly into DatABEL format? This sound to me as the
fastest(as in CPU time) option.
