_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function will take any URLs listed by the "repositories"
     option, and will return a list of ReposEntry objects representing
     those repositories

_U_s_a_g_e:

     getReposList(reps, recurse=TRUE, method="auto")

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    reps: Either a list of 'ReposEntry' objects, or a 'ReposList'
          object

 recurse: Whether or not to search through subrepositories. Default is
          TRUE

  method: Method used for file downloads.  See 'download.file'

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A 'ReposList' object, containing all 'ReposEntry' objects that
     were represented in 'reps' as well as any subrepositories if
     'recurse' is TRUE.  Note that this function is essentially useless
     if 'reps' is a 'ReposList' and 'recurse' is FALSE.
