Isn't this based on some of the earlier transmission patches? If so, it
would be good to give those authors some credits.

--disable-nls is normally handled automatically (depending on if the
toolchain has locale support or not - See package/Makefile.in).

The init script seems to have some configuration settings which might
not suit everyone. For those cases we typically only install the file if
it isn't already present in the rootfs skeleton - E.G. something like:

   [ -f $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/init.d/S92transmission ] || $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -D ..

I don't really know transmission, but why is the init script only
installed if this option isn't enabled? Transmission is a server
(daemon), right? Presumably we should either have an option to not
install the server (so you can use the -remote program to talk to a
server on another machine). If we do that, the CLI option should depend
on the server one.
