That looks really nice. How do you handle authentication? HTTP Basic?

Going off topic here, but:

I wish we could put each blueprint in a separate package, much like we 
do with buildout recipes (which are analogous to blueprints in more than 
one way). At least we should do this for re-usable ones. We already have 
some precedent in transmogrify.sqlalcemy and transmogrify.filesystem.

Right now, people are experimenting with transmogrifier in more 
integrated systems. It's good to have those, but the actual blueprints 
should be in more granular, re-usable packages. I fear there's a lot of 
overlap between something like pretaweb.funnelweb and 
quintagroup.transmogrifier, for example. It can also be hard to re-use 
these blueprints when they are not tested or designed to be used 
independently. A small package with unit tests is much easier to 
evaluate and integrate than a monolithic one.

I also worry about discoverability: I wouldn't have guessed that 
pretaweb.funnelweb contained such useful recipes. ;)
