I am trying to make the Version 7 BarChart function have the same Ticks capability as what was so easily done in Version 6 using the Ticks option.  Examples of what worked using the Ticks option in Version 6

Example:  (1)  

<< "BarCharts`"
BarCharts`BarChart[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3}, Automatic}]

Example: (2)  Sometimes it is necessary to skip priniting every other number on the X-axis
when the X-axis becomes too clutered with numbers.

<< "BarCharts`"
BarCharts`BarChart[{{1, 2, 3,4,5}, {2, 3, 4,5,6}}, Ticks -> {{1, 3,5}, Automatic}]


The Ticks option does not work  in Version 7:
 
System`BarChart[Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}}], Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3}, Automatic}]

(Note that one has to Transpose the data to get the same grouping in
the bar chart as Version 6, but this is easily done.)

Is there a way to get the same Tick marks  as in Examples (1) and (2) above
uisng the Version 7 BarChart function with its options?  

Thank you in advance.
