You don't. A camera isn't a shape, so of course it isn't useable for those
functions, and there isn't any way of retrieving the parameters. However,
you could just compute the location and use the same value in the camera
and wherever else you need it.

This is to be a very roundabout way of doing things...just transform a
vector. Look at the vtransform() macro in functions.inc.
