Marian,

The path handling has changed substantially for 3.7.  I believe the
raster files are supposed to be evaluated relative to the map file now,
instead of relative to the SHAPEPATH directory, but I am not sure.

There are no plans for this, though through use of esoteric projections it
is possible to generated rotated output - essentially fooling things into
believing that north is in another direction.

Best regards,
