# HISTORY:
# 2010-01-05
# o ROBUSTNESS: Some of the TCGA data files are not MAGE-TAB files, but
#   rather regular tab-delimited files.  Updated getHeader() of 
#   MageTabDataMatrixFile to detect this.
# 2009-09-24
# o Added argument 'strict=FALSE' to getHeader() of MageTabDataMatrixFile.
#   If the number of 'Hybridization REF' and 'CompositeElement REF' differ,
#   which is not a valid MAGE_TAB format, and strict=FALSE, then the
#   'Hybridization REF' is padded with "" from the beginning.
# 2009-08-20
# o Now getHeader() of MageTabDataMatrixFile also recognizes columns named
#   '(Rtum/Rnorm)'.
# 2009-05-18
# o Added to aroma.tcga.
# 2009-04-19
# o Fixed the column names.
# 2009-04-18
# o Created.
