It might be possible to conjure up something to get at the matrix
coefficients easier.

As for converting a matrix back into Euler rotation angles, I don't
think it would make sense to put anything into the source code; this is
too much of a special case to warrant increasing the matrix memory
footprint to track rotation separately.

I guess it would make sense though to provide some macros in math.inc to
help with that. Either a macro to actually decompose a rotation-only
matrix back into rotation angles, or a macro to combine two Euler
rotation vectors into a new Euler rotation vector.

Unfortunately I myself currently don't have the time to switch to "math
mode" and concoct something like that, so somebody else would have to
pick up that glove.
