Port Live tile from Callisto

[dotMorten]

Here's a preview of the tile in action: The tile is the first box. The text under is a textblock binding to SelectedItem (which is also settable and will flip to that item if you set it).

XAML for this:

<controls:LiveTile ItemsSource="{x:Bind Photos}" Direction="Up" Width="400" Height="200" >
  <controls:LiveTile.ItemTemplate>
     <DataTemplate>
            <Grid>
                <Image HorizontalAlignment="Center" Stretch="UniformToFill" Source="{Binding Thumbnail}" />
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Category}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="5" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </controls:LiveTile.ItemTemplate>
</controls:LiveTile>

Suggested name: ItemsSpinner

Did a little research and controls like this are often referred to as rotators. ItemsRotator or RotatorTile ?
