In doppelgangR: Identify likely duplicate samples from genomic or meta-data

#' Find doppelgangers based on "smoking gun" phenotypes - those that should be
#' unique to each patient.
#' 
#' Checks all pairwise combinations of samples for values of the "smoking" gun
#' phenotypes that are identical.
#' 
#' 
#' @param eset.pair a list of ExpressionSets, with two elements.  If the two
#' elements are identical, the function will check for duplicate IDs within one
#' element. If not identical, it will check for duplicate IDs between elements.
#' @param smokingguns phenoData column names found in multiple elements of
#' eset.pair that may contain "smoking guns" such as identifiers that should be
#' unique to each sample.
#' @param transFun a function to apply to IDs before comparing.  By default
#' apply no transformation.
#' @param separator Separator between dataset name and sample name.  Dataset
#' names are added to sample names to keep track of dataset of origin.
#' @return Returns an adjacency matrix for samples where matches have value 1,
#' non-matches have value zero.  Value for a sample against itself is NA.
