Awesome.  Good that I can finally help by taking some of the work. :)

How do you test which inputs are required?  I built all the bioconductor
packages and fixed their builds by adding inputs wherever that was
needed.  This does not take care of inputs that are no longer needed (if
any..).  Any way I can test that in a convenient way?

I'll process the mass-update on Friday, taking your changes into
account.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
