Transformed egsphants should probably be supported #36

A transformed XYZ geometry becomes type EGS_XYZGeometryT (note added 'T'), so it does not fall within the default supported geometry types for the phantom. No 3ddose files will be generated and the user is required to provide the individual voxel volumes.

However, I think transformed XYZ geometries should be supported the same as the non-transformed one. As far as I know, the getMass / getVolume methods are available in the transformed geometry, thus there should be no reason not to output 3ddose files.

I need to test this to confirm.
