Cylidrical image_maps take the entire image and fits the height to 1 POV
unit in the y axis and wraps the texture once around the y axis.  You can
then scale it in the y direction but (without using a different method) the
image can't be scaled around the y-axis.  In order to get the label to wrap
partially around the bottle (unless you want it fully wrapped) you have to
compensate in the image_map image itself.
