CVS acccess would be great. I've already expanded FopTransform actually to
support all of the output formats fop supports
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/output.html) that make sense in a web environment
(pdf, postscript, svg, mif, xml, text). AWT says it pops open an AWT window,
and print is for printing from the command line, so I left those out. I also
left out PCL, but can add it if there is demand.

So far I have only got results with pdf and postscript. I'm getting a class
not found exception with SVG so I'm probably one of the batik jars. xml and
text are both throwing index out of bounds exceptions--I'm pretty sure that
is a problem with FOP itself. I don't have Adobe Framemaker, so I can't even
test mif.

Anyway--I'll keep plugging along--I still need to port it to the new
interfaces. Hopefully I'll have a little sample web app and some basic
documentation ready this weekend or by early next week.

The config changes to support the new outputs are minimal:

This will still work and will produce pdf's (pdf is the default):
<transform type="fop"/>

but now you can also do:
<transform type="fop" output="ps"/>

valid output options are "pdf", "postscript", "ps" (postscript), "svg",
"xml", "txt", "text", and "mif"
