gEDA-user: mirrored footprint

[Kai-Martin Knaak <knaak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.
I just hit a legitimate use case for mirrored footprints: 
A layout sketch for dead-bug-prototyping. That is, glue the component
with its back to the board and do the wires manually. However, there seems 
to be no way to mirror a footprint.

For the moment I'll work-around with components moved to the back of the 
board. But an "official way to do this kind of layout would be welcome.
Would it be difficult to implement a mirror-action? Or is it already there, 
but not accessible through the GUI? Some kind of semi documented action?

PS: An official mirror action would be nice-to-have for text, too. Text on 
bottom sometimes needs fighting before it renders correctly. Some 
combinations of rotated/mirrored board view don't mix well with text 
insertion.
