Here is a change set that  make translucency in forms possible for 
screen depth less than 32.
It will use form combination rule 34 if screen depth is less than 32 and 
the form is of depth 32.
It will not work for a rotated form, as I'm not sure yet how to hack 
FormCanvas transformation methods.
But then again translucency does not work with most other rotated morphs 
either ;-)
Can anybody see any other nasty side effects ?
