I feel bad for ruining your work a little, but LowerLogic once coded these rotation functions:

Lowerlogic's Rotation/Angle Commands
Notes:
angle-distance means it will get the absolute value of the angle (because
there is no axis to indicate direction)
Rotation Functions:
Global/World Axis Rotation Functions:
Rotates the object along the global X axis the given amount
Rotate_GX(object number, angle)
Rotates the object along the global Y axis the given amount
Rotate_GY(object number, angle)
Rotates the object along the global Z axis the given amount
Rotate_GZ(object number, angle)
Local/Relative Axis Rotation Functions:
Rotates the object along its local X axis the given amount
Rotate_LX(object number, angle)
Rotates the object along its local Y axis the given amount
Rotate_LY(object number, angle)
Rotates the object along its local Z axis the given amount
Rotate_LZ(object number, angle)
Arbitrary Axis Rotation:
Rotates the object around the given axis the given amount
Rotate_Axis(object number, axis_x, axis_y, axis_z, angle)
Rotates the object so that the given local axis is aligned with the
given global axis
Align_Axes(object number, local_axis_x, local_axis_y, local_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z)
Rotates the object so that the given local axis is aligned with the
given global axis. However, it will not rotate more than the gien
amount.
Smooth_Align_Axes(object number, local_axis_x, local_axis_y, local_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z,max_angle_turn_amount)
Rotates the object so that the given local axis has an angle to the
global axis that is either less than, equal to, or greater than the
given angle. The relation it determined by the flag like so:
Flag Usage:
If flag=0, the rotation will occur.
If flag<0, the rotation will occur if the angle between the axes
is less than the given angle.
If flag>0, the rotation will occur if the angle between the axes
is greater than the given angle.
Angle_Axes(object number, local_axis_x, local_axis_y, local_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z,desired_angle,flag)
Rotates the object so that the given local axis has an angle to the
global axis that is either less than, equal to, or greater than the
given angle. The relation it determined by the flag like so:
Flag Usage:
If flag=0, the rotation will occur.
If flag<0, the rotation will occur if the angle between the axes
is less than the given angle.
If flag>0, the rotation will occur if the angle between the axes
is greater than the given angle.
The object will not rotate more than the maximum turn amount
Smooth_Angle_Axes(object number, local_axis_x, local_axis_y, local_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z,desired_angle,flag,max_angle_turn_amount)
Rotates and positions the object so that it rotates about a given point and axis.

Arbitrary Axis Angles:
The function takes 3 axes:
1) A rotation axis
2) An initial axis
3) A final axis
The function will return the angle the initial axis would have to
rotate around the rotation axis to reach the destination axis.
Note that the axes do not have to be orthogonal.
Angle_Axis(rotation_axis_x, rotation_axis_y,
rotation_axis_z, base_axis_x, base_axis_y, base_axis_z, dest_axis_x,
dest_axis_y, dest_axis_z)
Returns the angle from the local axis to the global axis around the
given global rotation axis. The function will return an angle with
direction. Since this function is really complicated, it can be
hard to use correctly. I recommend you use one of the simpler
angle functions if you can.
Angle_Axis_GL(object number, rotation_axis_x, rotation_axis_y,
rotation_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z,
local_axis_x, local_axis_y, local_axis_z)
Returns the angle from the 2nd global axis to the 1st global axis around the
given local rotation axis. The function will return an angle with
direction. Since this function is really complicated, it can be
hard to use correctly. I recommend you use one of the simpler
angle functions if you can.
Angle_Axis_LG(object number, local_rotation_axis_x, local_rotation_axis_y,
local_rotation_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z,
axis_x, axis_y, laxis_z)
Returns the angle from the local axis to the global axis around the
given local rotation axis. The function will return an angle with
direction. Since this function is really complicated, it can be
hard to use correctly. I recommend you use one of the simpler
angle functions if you can.

local_rotation_axis_z, global_axis_x, global_axis_y, global_axis_z,
local_axis_x, local_axis_y, local_axis_z)
