I'd rather not change my production work to a research product :-) Too risky. And officially mkii is still maintained (or that is what I read).

Actually, I was not using width at all, just \externalfigure[foo]

I expected that \externalfigure[foo][orientation=90] would first rotate the figure and then calculate its size. But it did not. It put in a figure of 4x8, while telling TeX the box was 8x4.

I do expect that \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[foo][width=4cm]} gets me a height of 4cm.
