True ('FreeRotateBuffer' command), but I keep having problems with it if 
the rotation angle is not a multiple of 90 degrees. I discussed this 
issue before the switch to new archives.  I was told to make pads 
slightly non-square, but that did not work very well either.   I am 
using the version that came packaged with Ubuntu 11.11.  I hope this 
problem gets fixed in the newer versions.
