I have not been clear enough. I also need the caption to be rotated.
To be precise, I need portrait page headers and landscape body.

I do it differently. I was following the method used
by Rockicki. It builds a box of the appropriate rotated size.
Essentially you put inside the box a vskip of the full size (i.e.
the *width* of the material being inserted), then the \special
and a \vss. It works in many cases, even in LaTeX. Now the
difference is that you are bulding a box that will not be
contributed to the main vertical list.

For doing what I want, a new float is needed. Moreover, \end@float,
if I have remembered its name right, needs changes because the
material is contributed to \@currlist differently, so I wrote a
substitute.
