     'createEexprSetFromLimma' This function creates a new object of
     the type 'EexprSet' from a data object of the limma package. So
     the standard methods that are available for the 'EexprSet' object
     are also available to tihs type of data.

  object: The object (of the type RGList or MAList object from limma)
          to be converted. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     For two color micro array data, like the data objects in limma
     represent, the array.pairs attribute in the 'EexprSet' object will
     contain information about what column correspondes to the red
     intensities and green intensities respectiveley of which array. So
     by calling for example the 'drawMA' method the right intensities
     will be used to create the MA plot. Weights will also be set in
     the 'EexprSet' object, as well as the printer layout if set in the
     limma object. The only thing that will be missing by now is the
     annotation (the $genes) object. This should be fixed soon...
