Hrm?

Nah!

for (y = height - 1; y >= 0; y--)
{
  for (x = width - 1; x >= 0; x++)
  {
    src_x = width - x - 1;
    src_y = height - y - 1;

    ... copy pixel from src surface @ (src_x,src_y) to
        dest surface @ (x,y)
  }
}

;^)

Or am I totally confused?

Well now I >am< totally confused! ;)
