[Squeakland] reflection symmetry - again

[Andreas Raab]

Hi Randy,

Yes, the "non-standard" rotation styles aren't properly supported in the 
current eToys. Unfortunately, it is very hard to fix that particular 
problem because it ties in with parts of the core architecture that 
we've only learned to understand after building the current version. In 
short, after talking about this issue none of us feels comfortable to 
apply a "quick fix" that stays short of rewriting the whole graphics 
architecture (something that we cannot afford to do).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
