I have http://aspodata.se/git/openhw/bin/fp_rotate.pl and
http://aspodata.se/git/openhw/share/gschem/scale_sym.pl.

I might do what you want if there sufficient interest.
Question is how to handle pin ends, should one snap them 
nearest grid point or the closest in the pins general direction, and
what grid size should one use ? So rotate first 45° and then -45° 
wouln't get back to same thing.

If it is for 45° increments only, then one could rotate and then scale
the sym up/down by sqrt(2).
