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.
