Okay, I will try to tune this.  The mousewheel events on OS X are
different from the other platforms, I guess I haven't quite figured
out how to get them all to calm down.  The restless z-axis.

Yeah, images have a `rotate` method.  Give it the degrees.  You'll
need to call a `displace` as well afterwards for now, since I don't
have it hooked up to a repaint.

  Shoes.app do
    @pic = image "static/shoes-icon.png"
    animate do
      @pic.rotate 1
      @pic.displace 0, 0
    end
  end

I am not caught up with Flash yet.  Able to do.  I don't think it
will happen without help, though, since I don't need it for Hackety
Hack.
