[Mne_analysis] mne_make_cor_set - transform problem

[Matti Hamalainen]

Hi Don,

You can read the fif file mne_make_cor_set made in mrilab and do the coordinate transformation there as you have used to and produce a new fif file where the transformation is in place.
This does not deal with the different coordinate systems between the one derived from the DICOM files and the mgz files, though.

- Matti
