Hello,

I'm looking to rotate an externalfigure inside of its bounding box in 
increments of 90 deg.  Its real easy with 0 and 180, you can just do:

\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]
\rotate[rotation=180]{\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]}

Both commands result with an image that is 5.0in wide and 2.0in tall.

But the problem comes when rotating a externalfigure at 90 and 270 degrees (or 
more generally, anything besides 0 and 180).  The rotation is applied to the 
whole bounding box instead of rotating the picture within a bounding box.  The 
following images will be rendered 2.0in wide and 5.0in tall.

\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]}
\rotate[rotation=270]{\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]}

Are there any plans to add support for specify an externalfigure's rotation 
within its bounding box, similar to this:
\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in, rotation=90]

Cheers,
Mike
