Labels rotating with Maps

Folks,

Flavio brought up the issue of labels not rotating with the map
when a map is rotated.  I have applied a change in MapServer 4.5
CVS to handle this which is addressed in bug 1135.  The change
requires a small change to msAddLabel() (to pass a modified labelObj
in with the altered angle) and as I have currently set things up
the mapper needs to add a PROCESSING directive to the layer
indicating that they want the labels to rotate with the map.

I am interested in feedback on how we should control this feature, or even
whether it ought to be on by default, or perhaps only when explicit angles
are provided.  Best to add comments in the bug report I would think.

Best regards,
