bibliospec - provides a reference class for bibliospec files

Convert [mascot](http://www.matrixscience.com) .dat or [comet](http://comet-ms.sourceforge.net/) .pep.xml files with [BibliopSpec](https://skyline.gs.washington.edu/labkey/project/home/software/BiblioSpec/begin.view) into .sqlite files. Access the data with the [CRAN package bibliospec](https://cran.r-project.org/package=bibliospec) to analyse it with [specL](http://bioconductor.org/packages/specL/), [protViz](https://cran.r-project.org/package=protViz) or [prozor](https://github.com/wolski/prozor) in R.
