Gah, I'm clearly writing this too late. I meant to say that I'm
running OpenSUSE 11.1 (a Linux variant), and the coordinate transforms
on my installed copy of the osgeo/ogr python package don't work. When
I try to run the script I get this crazy error:

... long python traceback ...
NotImplementedError: Wrong number of arguments for overloaded function
'CoordinateTransformation_TransformPoint'.
  Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
    TransformPoint(double [3])
    TransformPoint(double [3],double,double,double)

I could have opted to track down the source of this error, but just
removing the unnecessary (?) calls seemed like an easier solution.
