We already have some bug reports for a few of them:
- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487062
- https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589629

The problem with these is, that they are quite a bit more complex than
the rotating we do already which contradicts our wish to keep eog very
simple. Then these don't fit very well into eog's transformation
infrastructure which is based on affine matrix transformations. That
allows for example to apply the transformations to JPEGs without
recompressing them.

So, I guess it'll be more likely that this will come up in a plugin
rather than in eog itself.
