No, you don't need to bother with the matrix. Use the 0 INVERT to tell
the renderer: "Hey, please turn the following subfiles inside-out".
Remember the example from stud2.dat:
1 16 0 -4 0 4 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
0 INVERT ON
1 16 0 -4 0 6 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 6 4-4cyli.dat
0 INVERT OFF

Apart from that I fully agree with Steve's comments to Rui.
