The orientation of an object in 3D space is something quite complicated 
(look for quaternion and matrix stuff if you want to know why). For this 
reason Soya does not provide any way to get the orientation of a body.
By the way soya matrix system works very well !!! But it is not intended 
to be used by the end user.

For your task there is an easy way to go : Just create a vector oriented 
toward north with your scene (world) as parent. Then create a vector 
with your character as parent and oriented toward the front of your 
character. And that's it, any time you want to check the orientation of 
your character from north you use the angle_to method with those two 
vectors. Easy :)
