[Etoys] Circles and Ellipses with embeded objects

Hi Karl, Hi Yoshiki

CircleMorphs are similar to PolygonMorphs in there
rotation policy.
They both behave differently from ellipses and
rectangles when rotated.
This becomes apparent when you add submorphs to them
and then rotate.

I started to do some analysis and comparisons here:

Rotation and Scaling, Reflection and Growth

and a mantis issue
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=5674
5674: Why doesn't heading = forwardDirection +
rotationDegrees for all morphs all the time?

I've done more thinking since then but haven't
collected those further thoughts into publishable
stuff. Maybe now that there is an interest...

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
