It seems like there's been a lot of work relating to image rotation
and scaling in gears, but none of it has actually made it into the
public release.  I also see 2 different wiki pages:
http://code.google.com/p/gears/wiki/CanvasAPI and
http://code.google.com/p/gears/wiki/ImagingAPI.  In the code base,
there's a image/ subdirectory that seems to have a lot of code and
which utilizes GD under the hood.  There's also a canvas/ subdirectory
that also has a lot of code and utilizes Skia under the hood.

As a user, I really just want image rotation (90 degree increments)
and scaling (while maintaining aspect ratio).

What's the status of getting these features into the next release
candidate?  I'm happy to contribute code, but to be honest I'm not
sure where I would start since there are 2 similar sections (canvas
and image), and I can't really tell if one is abandoned/deprecated/
left to die or if they actually serve different purposes.

Thanks
Dave
