I've linked a bunch of SoShapeKits together via their childLists to 
create a hierarchical object - a hand.  Everything works fine except,
and its a big except, I don't want the scaling transformation of
a parent to affect the child.  Rotations and Translations should, it
seems to me, affect the stack but not scaling.  If you want to 
uniformly scale the entire object then stick a SoScale node at the
top off of the scene node.  How do you do component specific scalings
without affecting those components further down the hierarchy? There
seems to be no way to tell the SoTransform node, or any node to use
the field but don't push it on the stack.  My only alternative seems
to undo the scaling done by the parent at each child.  This is rather
ugly.  Is there a way around this?
