At first look this doesn't seem all that bad. The hardest part is going to be cleaning up the hard coded bits out there. The routines basically all produce the same thing with different methods which helps. Right now what I need to do is map out all the calculations that are being applied and will come up with a proposal to post here. But it should be too bad once I get my head around the whole thing. Basically what I'm going to look at is modularizing the calculation for each matrix component (camera, center, up) so that new methods like some of what Michael described can be easily added.
