I believe that could all be done with SVG SMIL animation. The immediate drawback to this is that it is not currently supported by any versions of Internet Explorer, so it's a rather impractical solution.[1]

Here's a basic example of a rotating SVG image (borrowed from Wikipedia):

Mousover effects could be added with JavaScript
