well, but if you select multiple objects with different rotations,
there's no way to make them each use their own local y axis in one grab,
is there?

just did a test, and you're right, it works. the reason I didn't know is
that usually I have more than one bone influence per vert-if the points
have more than one bone influence; then each goes it's own (crazy) way.
doesn't seem to be a deep transform issue, more how crazy space gets
calculated. here's an example blend:
http://freefactory.org/misc/crazytest.blend
the two points at the "outside" behave fine, and have different (single
bone) weights, while the two in the middle have weights painted to both
bones, and misbehave.

cool!
