Note that CVS versions of emacs have `temporary transient-mark-mode',
which allows you can turn on transient-mark-mode for just one command:
Hit C-SPC or C-@ or whatever you use to set the mark _twice_.  It's
really quite amazingly intuitive (I think the credit for the
idea/implementation goes to Kim Storm).
