How do you get the rotation of the table? Is there (in LyX 1.5) a simple
switch or button I missed?

This would save the relyx but has the disadvantage that I cannot see the
numbers in LyX. (I see, this is unimportand if you just batch process.)

Alternatively you could try to export the table as postscript (eps) and
within the table float do 'figure-insert' - the figure-insert popup allows
easy rotating.
Advantage: not only rotating but also scaling of the table is possible.
Disadvantage: may be, it looks not so nice due to different fonts in text and
table (not so important when the table is rotated and in a float).
