//       Class : VertexTransform
// Description : This is an abstract base class that holds a pointer
//               to some transform, computed in some arbitrary way,
//               that is to be applied to vertices during rendering.
//               This is used to implement soft-skinned and animated
//               vertices.  Derived classes will define how the
//               transform is actually computed.
