Yes and no ;). Currently I want to get some experience with OpenGL. Till
now I wrote my matrix classes and operations by my self and thought
about to make a library from all procedures... but I think this is work
which can be skipped. So I found uBlas, which allows matrix operations
and is compatible with OpenGL. Initializing a matrix for rotation is not
much work, but if there are procedures to do this I could skip this work
too.

btw: The linked page (http://www.robwork.dk) does not work.
