I fixed your original suggestion so the block rotate in Pcbnew now works
with the hot key like Eeschema.  I still need to test the component and
footprint library editors.  When I get some time, I'll see if I can
change the behavior as I suggested.  I've already run into a snag on
Eeschema so it will not be 10 minute fix.
