Provide an option to rotate exported bitmaps to portrait orientation.

I'm a bit confused by why you would want this. Wouldn't you always want your bitmap to be North up? That's so much the standard for orienteering maps.

I do recognize that this proposal was motivated by a quite special need of ours. We have a printing process where we would like to load such images directly from our printer panel to print out, and the printer does not have a function to automatically rotate the input image, it rather downscales too wide images instead. So, we need to always have the short edge at the top.
