I can get xpress working with L/M/H SILAC.  But I loath the thought of the
work it would take to interface it within the TPP (updating pepXML schema,
xinteract wrapper tool, XPressPeptideRatioParser, XPressProteinRatioParser,
PepXMLViewer, the protein viewer, etc.).

I will play with my standalone, rewritten xpress (runs much more
efficiently) to get it a bit more functional, including L/M/H SILAC
support, and then maybe we can find another developer to integrate it back
into the TPP.
