cdfFromBioC(cdfname, lib = .libPaths()[1], verbose = TRUE)
cdfFromLibPath(cdfname, lib = NULL, verbose=TRUE)
cdfFromEnvironment(cdfname, where, verbose=TRUE)

`cdfname`	name of the CDF.
`lib`	install directory for the CDF package.
`where`	environment to search.
`verbose`	logical controlling extra output.

These functions all take a requested CDF environment name and will attempt to locate that environment in the appropriate location (a package's data directory, as a CDF package in the .libPaths(), from a loaded environment or on the Bioconductor website. If the environment can not be found, it will return a list of the methods tried that failed.

The CDF environment or a list detailing the failed locations.
