I think this will have to return the device distance between the 
transforms of 0,0 and x,y.

Or maybe the current point and the current point plus x,y?

I am pretty certain that returning a dx,dy,dw value is useless. The 
delta of the w cannot be used to figure out any useful aspect of the 
transform.
