11536,Rotate image buttons don't show up on PHP installs without imagerotate(),husky,,"The two new 'rotate image' buttons in 2.9 depend on the imagerotate() function from the PHP GD library to work. 

Unfortunately, that function is only available with a pre-compiled version of the GD library, which my host (and i suspect many others) don't have because it's apparently not a popular way to use the GD library. For example, the 'php5-gd' package on Ubuntu 8.06 doesn't have it.

End users expect this behaviour to work (it is shown as a major new feature of 2.9) so we should at least have a message that their host doesn't support the rotate buttons.

A better solution would be to offer an alternative imagerotate() function to use (might be slow though). Many examples can be found at php.net: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.imagerotate.php
