     There are five data types supported in the Gaggle:

        1.  nameLists

        2.  matrices

        3.  networks

        4.  hashmaps (environments in R)

        5.  clusters (typically, row names and associated column names,
           selecting a submatix)

     A good test of an installation, therfore, is to send each of these
     data types from R to an 'echo goose', and to make sure that the
     returned  data is identical to that which was sent out.  This
     function loads the 'RUnit' package, assumes that a boss and echo
     goose are running and properly configured, then calls one function
     for each data type.

     Procedure:

        1.  Browse to
           http://gaggle.systemsbiology.net/projects/rValidation

        2.  start the Gaggle Boss

        3.  start the echo goose
