Hi, I have commited the rotation code into master - you can test it in the latest daily build [1]. Currently rotation is located in right-click menu on an image, unde "manage graphic" but this may change in the future.

AFAIK it is not really the drawing layer that is the problem - rotation is nicely supported in Calc, Impress and Draw. The problem is that Writer is using different code than the others. Someone might hack up Writer with rotation support (which would also not be easy at all) but ideally would be to refactor the code to use the common drawing code all across components. This is something Aw080 tries to solve (among many many other things) and it is not a trivial task to do.
