It's from Graphics Gems II, the code for which is available online (linked
from http://www.acm.org/tog/Software.html ).

That's called (re-)orthogonalization. Graphics Gems I has code to do it.
You might also reconsider whatever it is that's causing the matrix to become
nonorthogonal. In the case of arcball-type rotation you can:
1. Store the current transform matrix M when the rotation begins
2. Store the initial arcball conditions (cursor location, etc.)
3. For each mouse movement, compute the transform M' from the original
location to the current one - that is, don't use incremental updates
4. Multiply M and M' to get the rotated transform, and apply it to the object
5. When done, update M to M * M'
I've been using the Gems arcball code in this manner for years and have
never had to deal with orthogonalization.

Cool!
