You're totally right, and I missed that function.  The problem is that
I got accustomed to using 1.1.9 documentation since doxygen wanted to
install a millian dependencies first, and at the time there was no
downloadable doc for 1.3.  But there is now, so thanks to whoever did
that :)

I'm happy now that I can rotate text, but it's a nicer api to use the
existing transformation framework than rather have ad-hoc parameters
to specific drawing functions.  But that's a bit of a bigger task
probably, though I guess it wouldn't be so bad to support just the
rotation part until someone felt a need to implement other things like
stretching and shearing.
