Rotary processing for daylight tanks?

I just found this on the Frugal Photographer website.

"Compact Developing tank with two spiral reels, light-tight lid for rotary agitation, liquid-tight lid for inversion or rolling agitation, and instructions."

What I want to know is if there are actual methods for rotary agitation or rolling agitation with small tanks and how to do it.
 
The Jobo CPA requires you to use Jobo's specialty tanks though. For that generic daylight tank you'll need a generic roller. The unicolor and beseler motor bases are just spinning wheels that you can drop any old tank on, right? I might be wrong... I've never used one.

That Jobo roller base I linked to is literally just 4 rolling wheels... you can put a tank on it and roll it manually. I have no idea why you would.
