I'd like to ACK this.  For various reasons it is really tough for our 
application to have %processor options.  It would be ideal for me if you 
could set all of the processor options later by method:

$tx->processor_opt(1);
$tx->processor_opt(2);
...etc.

I'm not saying drop %processor_options, I'm saying that perhaps all 
module should support both ways of interacting?

And ditto also the comments about data cleanup.  All or nothing 
consistently, please! :-)
