Based off Alec's answer, here is a similar element that you can use along with the transformations and still get their full benefit:

  
    
      false
      $(AssemblyName).dll.config
    
  

This way, you can use the SlowCheetah transforms or the built-in ones to transform your .config file, and then go into your Visual Studio Deployment Project (or other) and include the Content from the affected project in your Add -> Project Output... page easily, with minimal changes.
