Incorporating a 3x3 rotation matrix into a vtkTransform

vtk users, 

Simple question, I'm a bit rusty with my 4x4 transformation matrices. I
have a routine that computes the  rotation required to LS align two sets of
points. It returns a 3x3 rotation matrix, how do I add this to a
vtkTransform. Is it as simple as adding a row of 1's?

ie.

R = a b c
    d e f
    g h i

T = a b c 0
    d e f 0
    g h i 0
    1 1 1 1

Or is it more complicated?

Cheers,

Tim.
