[vtkusers] vtkMath::Matrix3x3ToQuaternion

[David Gobbi]

Hi David, Mathieu,

Matrix3x3ToQuaternion() works best with a rotation matrix,
i.e. an orthogonal matrix, but it should be robust enough to
handle other matrices.  Obviously it would still fail if
it gets a zero matrix.

Could you send some examples of matrices that it fails on?
