use [# cross], added 2 minutes ago. Should be much faster than any of my 3 
first solutions.

a fast way would use [# cross] preceded by some amount of preparation.
Using two 3x3 matrices, [# cross] will do 3 cross products.

[#store] allows to easily select rows from a matrix (but not columns). You 
just give it a column-matrix of indices (3 1 # ...).

Post your patch when you're done. :)
