 The challenge here is that imagerotate() is "...only available if PHP is
 compiled with the bundled version of the GD library". There are
 replacement functions but they are very slow especially for large images
 as they copy the source image pixel by pixel.

 Perhaps we can do image rotation only when the function is available.
 Image flip can be done with imagecopyresampled() (the same function used
 for resizing) and cropping with Jcrop.
