View definitions are supposed to follow these rules for positive
values:

  x -> right
  y -> up
  z -> back/aft

but long ago (2003/02/06) a patch was committed, which swapped
the meaning of x and y axis in "lookat" mode (that is: chase
views and the aircraft following look from the tower). "lookfrom"
remained correct.

This change is now reverted and both "lookat" and "lookfrom"
use the same coordinate system again. Some aircraft got used
to the broken version, and I changed all of them, except

  R22/R22-set.xml
  Sikorsky-76C/s76c-base.xml
  ec135/ec135-set.xml

because these seemed already to be (almost :-) correct.
