createTubsetRaw: Convert a set of data.frames into a tubeset
In flowforest/flowforest: Random Forest for Flow Cytometry Results

This function allows one to create a >>tubeset<< (a specific form of cytometry data on which flowForest can operate) from a set of data.frames.

1	createTubsetRaw(dfList, dirOut, verbose = FALSE)

`dfList`	A list of data.frames or a list of lists of data.frames. In the first case, it is assumed that there is a single tube, otherwise that each top-levl list corresponds to a tube. Within a tube, each data.frame corresponds to an object, and its rows to events recorded for this object. Colums of a data.frame represent the recorded event properties, thus their count must be equal for all data.frames from a tube.
`dirOut`	Path to write output files; may not exist, function will try to recursively create it
`verbose`	Set to `TRUE` to enable process progress reporting

Invisible NULL; the important side effect is a set of files <dirOut>/tube<N>.bin holding the converted data, which can be loaded with loadTubeset function.

You don't have to create separate tubesets for training and test data; this can be specified as a mask given to the flowForest function.

Converter will overwrite existing tube<N>.bin files, yet it is adviced to use empty paths (for instance, N-tube set written over N+1-tube one will leave one old tube file, leading to either load failure or unexpected results).
