[Bf-committers] Bounding box, linked size, and Transform Properties

[Erwin Coumans]

It's not completely clear what the effect of this is. The Collada plugin and 
Game Engine use the bounding box for the dimensions for rigid bodies (box, 
cylinder, cone).

Can we try out a patch and more in depth description before committing?
We are so close to a release, and it's not nice to see things breaking :)

Thanks,
Erwin
