Subject: [ggl] Efficient rotation about a point

Hi Lee, Stephen,
Indeed it is possible to do this with one matrix. GGL does not define
matrix calculations itself, but uses Boost uBlas for matrix calculations.
You can see how this (concatenating matrices) is done, e.g. in
http://geometrylibrary.geodan.nl/formal_review/map__transformer_8hpp_source.html.
Regards, Barend
There are some transformers, but as so
