[Bf-committers] New Transform patch.

[Chris Burt]

Thanks for your comments joeedh, I hope you didn't take offense. I 
apologize that I didn't make mention of your participation in the 
beginnings of this project! I was just making an attempt to point out 
that its important to realize this project has now evolved to a point 
where its probably best to have more of a support role now, and do your 
best to provide feedback as opposed to providing code. Too many cooks 
can spoil the broth after all :) Hope I didn't stir up any hard 
feelings, thats far from my goal here :)

Regards,
--Chris
