Google Maps rotate marker

Question

I need to rotate a Google Maps Marker. I'm using the JavaScript v3 API. What is the best way of doing this? I've had a look at some other similar questions but there seems to be no clear answer, or if there is it's for v2.

I'm looking for a neat/tidy way to rotate the marker icon.

Edit:

As this question has started to rise in views quite dramatically I have decided to edit it to make the result of my question clearer.

A marker image cant be rotated.. you will need to create new images of all your possible rotations and replace the marker image as required with a rotate image file.. using marker.setIcon()

Ok thanks, is it possible to animate the rotation doing it this way? – jskidd3 Jul 29 '13 at 00:38
Yes.. but only by changing the marker image in quick succession with new marker images to achieve the effect of animation.. – Duncan_m Jul 29 '13 at 00:47
