The way I have it implemented is to switch off to
msDrawTransformedShape instead of msDrawLineSymbol/msDrawShadeSymbol.
Thus without going through an intermediary shapeObj.
The transformation and call(s) to msDrawMarkerSymbol are done inside
that function.

I didn't implement a function that returns a shapeObj, as for the
start/end/vertices transforms to be usefull, we must also calculate an
appropriate orientation for the point.
