Yes. It's composed by two distinct plugins: the official one (Unity) and
the Unity Rotated.

Short awnser: no.

Long answer: unity is a plugin for compiz, responsible for the appmenu,
the launcher, the alt+tab switcher, etc. This means that the launcher is
just one part of unity and we cannot make a plugin that only changes
this specific part without forking all the code.
