Well, the reorient macro aligns an axis of the object with a new axis, but
it doesn't specify how much the object should be rotated *around* that axis
in the process. To reorient something and really know what it's going to
look like, you need to align to two axis. That's what I did with the code I
gave you, and since the matrix transformation requires all 3 axis (x,y,z) to
be redefined, I figured out which direction the 3rd axis should point by
doing a vector cross product (which finds a vector perpendicular to the two
vectors crossed).
