'A practical guide to methods controlling false discoveries in computational biology' recommends the use of the swfdr package (BL method, ref below). This is an extension of Storey's p(FDR)/q-value measure to situations where there is not a uniform chance of the null-hypothesis being true or false.

We should make use of these advancements - indeed Dimitri suggested as much.
