becomes:

A D G X
B E H Y
C F I Z
0 0 0 1

(Note the letters go vertically.)  I believe some references may swap the
rows/columns, to produce:

A B C 0
D E F 0
G H I 0
X Y Z 1

I'm pretty sure that should be:

A D G 0
B E H 0
C F I 0
X Y Z 1

So multiplying (used fixed-pitch font for proper viewing):

(x y z 1) (A D G 0)
          (B E H 0)
          (C F I 0)
          (X Y Z 1)

gives

(Ax + By + Cx + X  Dx + Ey + Cz + Y  Gx + Hy + Iz + Z  1)

It's easy to tell which matrix they are referring to by checking out where
the translation (X, Y, Z) portion fits into their matrix.  Having mapped
LDraw models to OpenGL, I can say that any OpenGL-related texts will likely
use the first matrix.

Interesting.  I've usually seen the second format (X Y Z on the bottom).
Then again, my main reference is a 15-year-old copy of Foley/Van Dam.
