Take a look at point.cpp. It seems that Transform_Light_Source() actually
does nothing special with area lights. Only Translate_Light_Source() does
not call Transform_Light_Source() (scale and rotate do), but does it
itself. I don't know how the area light sample points are stored exactly,
but that may be the cause.
