[Bf-committers] Scale from Matrix

[Ramon Carlos Ruiz]

Hi, this is very simple. For Sx first normailze
mat[0][0],mat[0][1],mat[0][2] and create n[0][0],n[0][1],n[0][2], that
contain the rotation only. now pick the bigger number of the first row . .
lets said mat[0][0], then divide that element with n[0][0] and that's Sx or
1/Sx
