[OM] Building a 1.4X

When another list member took apart an Olympus 2X-A for his own nefarious 
purposes, I got to thinking would it be possible to build a 1.4X that would 
be usuable on the 100/2.8, 100/2, 135, 200, etc.  Couldn't I take the insides 
out of one of the newer Sigma or Kenko TCs and put it inside an extension 
tube. The metering on non-indexing lens just denotes how many stops down from 
full open you are so metering would be preserved. The only difficult thing 
would be to get the extender the right distance from the film plane and lens 
and make sure that it was square.
