Assign hotkey to screen rotate?

Hi,
I find myself rotating the screen quite often through sysprefs>displays>rotate 90 degs or through the display icon in the menu bar.
However, neither of these methods is really easy. Would there be any way to assign a hotkey that rotates the screen by 90 degrees (and, of course, ideally make it a toggle?).
I've tried to use the new 'watch me do' function in Automator, but one way or the other it didn't work. Shame, because it was the first time I found a real use for it.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

How is it possible for you to rotate at all? I have a 2 core MacBook Pro and I can only find the rotate option when I connect an external monito (only rotates the external).

There is an application called SMSRotateD, you only push a button and it turns automatically detecting the position of your mac. The problem is I can only find the demo of it.

I need to rotate mine badly, because I have an inverted stup in my van. I have not being abble to find a way to rotate.

If anyone knows, please let me know.
I have Leopard installed.
