[Mod_transform] want to transform xml output from module

[jclark at ephibian.com]

i still can't seem to get this working...  when i put in the
ap_add_output_filter line, all i get in the browser is an empty html 4
document.  i tried moving this function call all around the
index_directory subroutine, but each time it produces the same results.

any ideas about what i might be doing wrong?
