We should now be able to get these from Ogg files, though this might not be working yet...

/**
 * Metadata associated with a transform.
 *
 * The transform ID is the same as that used in the Transform class.
 * It is intended to be computer-referenceable and unique within the
 * application.
 * 
 * The name is intended to be human readable.  In principle it doesn't
 * have to be unique, but the factory that creates these objects
 * should add suffixes to ensure that it is, all the same (just to
 * avoid user confusion).
 *
 * The friendly name is a shorter version of the name.
 *
 * The type is also intended to be user-readable, for use in menus.
 *
 * To obtain these objects, use
 * TransformFactory::getAllTransformDescriptions and
 * TransformFactory::getTransformDescription.
