Summary	0001719: set-camera-facing won't turn
Description	At all. Regardless of whatever's in the turning arguments, the camera refuses to move. This worked (horizontally, anyway) before the new camera code came about, but now it's just stationary.
Tags	No tags attached.

Turns out that the problem was that the 'stationary' flag wasn't getting removed properly when the camera was being given a rotation. I also noticed, in testing, that the camera was jumping around due to the interpolation method used. The old method converted to angles to rotate the camera, the new method simply interpolates the 9 matrix values. This means the camera no longer supports a constant rotational velocity, it must move towards a certain orientation when moving, but that it's as smooth as possible in FS2_Open. It also means this bug is fixed and will be in my next build (I'll resolve the bug then).
