gEDA-user: Why does auto-mirror mirror the bottom?

[Ben Jackson <ben@xxxxxxx>]

Why does auto-mirror mean to mirror the bottom?  I just got very close
to doing an iron transfer pcb with the sides reversed:

      if (automirror
          &&
          ((idx >= 0 && group == GetLayerGroupNumberByNumber (max_layer))
           || (idx < 0 && SL_SIDE (idx) == SL_BOTTOM_SIDE)))
        mirror_this = 1 - mirror_this;

For both toner transfer and for photosensitive PCBs you want the toner
touching the PCB, which means the bottom image (solder side) is normal
and the top (component side) is mirrored.

Was the expectation to use both mirror AND automirror??
