this should be in the docs. it's in degrees, counter-clockwise.
(both rotate and rotozoom are counterclockwise)

note counterclockwise is opposite of what i'd want, but i didn't realize 
the SDL_rotozoom stuff was counterclockwise until after it was released 
in pygame. after that i didn't want to go back and change it, so that's 
the way it has stayed. :-/

switching it to clockwise would be good, but then we get the whole 
"breaking" thing going. would it really hurt anyone if the rotates went 
the other way at this point? i'm not aware of any games currently using 
the rotate? i'm leaning towards not changing it, but with a bit of 
support i could be persuaded :-]
