I have posted the source for my vtransform() patch in
povray.programming, I hope I didn't forget anything.
This version has the syntax changed to be more consistant with vrotate,
etc. The only modifications were moving two lines in PARSE.C up a bit
and switching their positions.

The syntax is:
vtransform(VECTOR, TRANSFORM)
Where VECTOR is the point to be transformed and TRANSFORM is any
standard POV-Ray transform(scale, rotate, translate, matrix, transform
{}...).

Is this for use with isosurfaces and functions?

No, it is another function like vrotate, vaxis_rotate, vnormalize, etc.
It simply allows you to do full transforms on a vector instead of just
rotation.

vrotate(vectA, rotationAmt)
is the same as
vtransform(vectA, rotate rotationAmt)

I will attempt to upload a .zip which contains more of my patch work(and
all of the current WyzPov stuff, although with syntax changes) to
povray.binaries.programming.
