  To what?
  Modify the x-vector of the camera to match the aspect ratio? Or would it
be better to modify the up-vector? Or perhaps modify both half-way? Or perhaps
they should be modified weighting by the aspect ratio (ie. if the image is
wider than taller, then the x-vector is modified proportionally more than
the up-vector)?
  I suppose you read my other article where I explained why it's not so
trivial as you may think.
  (It's trivial to implement, but what it's not trivial is deciding which is
the correct behaviour. It also introduces some problems, as I described.)
