By the way theeth, did you get my emails about those object converter 
functions I wrote for your new Transform() code?

P.S.: And I also got vert scaling along transformation center to work.  
The only problem is finding the screen coordinates of the transformation 
center, that is turning out to be much harder then the actual scaling 
function itself.  When I get done figuring out that I'll send it to you, 
though you will probably need to do some modifcations (I've realized 
that the "per-vert" really applies to Objects too).
