Feature

We have binary transforms that generally need to be configured (using --data_files_to_use cli param) to specify the extensions of the files to which the transform can be applied. This means the transform can essentially fail to process any files if the user/caller does not set this command line argument.

To address this, it would be good if the transform itself could specify the extensions it supports in the associated DataAccess/Factory. This is probably most easily accomplished for the developer by setting the extensions somewhere in the TransformConfiguraiton class. It would be good to avoid having to do this in the RuntimeConfiguration class, as 1) this is cumbersome for the developer and 2) would have to be done for each runtime.
