Triad is ortho (mostly) regardless of view

[aowen87]

I always have trouble using triad to mentally map box axes to xyz directions. Part of the problem is that the triad doesn't parallel the box lines in perspective mode. AFAICT it doesn't match any of the 8 box corners. It appears to match the box lines only in ortho mode. I think the triad should be rendered with perpsective in perspective mode and with ortho in ortho mode.
