Well, it works weirdly.  If I attach a glow to a declared light, with the
light in a CSG object later, the transforms on the CSG seem to affect the
glow (it travels with them), but the transforms directly on the light (in
the light statement itself, even) don't seem to.  It stays at the light's
base position.  Still, at least if the glow is transformed the same as the
light in the bounding CSG, that makes things a little bit better, since I
can do the light's transforms on the glow manually if need be.
