[DAS2] das1->das2 proxy adapter

[Ed Erwin]

Thanks Andrew,

That sounds really useful.  It might be nice to try to run the current 
NetAffx DAS/1 server through this translation and see what comes out the 
other end.  How would we need to do that?  Do we download your code and 
run it ourselves, or will you have some server that we can pass the data 
through?
