I could do that, but perhaps it is simpler to follow the suggestion
by Herbert. I tested it with both MikTeX and teTeX and it works. 

Essentially, we should replace the converter from postscript to pdf
as follows:

pspdf13 -dAutoRotatePages#/None $$i $$o

it is important to use '#' in place of '=' as this avoids parsing
problems on Windows and is understood on *nix, too.

I think this is the simplest change, and I get the same rotation with
both latex and pdflatex.
