So... Rather than do all that, I decided I'd write a tool that would make me able to:
Rotate (0, 90, 180, and 270 degree rotation),
Flip (Horizontal, Vertical),
Mirror (Horizontal, Vertical) (taking the bottom and left axes as input),
Rearrange Z-layers,
Export Z-layers,
Delete Z-layers,
And re-export completed DMMs.
This is a developer tool, and as such is not meant to be used at runtime. It's not optimized because who actually cares about optimizing a developer tool? But it's pretty sprightly. It completed most tasks on a 128x128 map in zero time flat.
#define ceil(x) (-round(-(x)))
#define floor(x) round(x)

It should be noted that these methods do not alter the pop dictionary or any prototypes. So step_x and step_y values will be copied over. If you want these mirrored, it's gonna cost you some time and getting familiar to pops.
Some junk data can be exported with a DMM if you start deleting layers. Loading it up in Dream Maker and saving the map again will clear all of this junk data. Pop ids will be misaligned a bit here and there if you flip/rotate/mirror. Again, loading the map in Dream Maker and compiling will clear the junk out.
