Possibility 5: (a bit of a cheat) would be to have 3 concentric copies of 
the same object with the image rotated appropriately through 90 degrees on 
each one. The one with the image correct on the x-plane should then be 
scaled by <1.0001,1,1>, the one with the image on the y-plane by 
<1,1.0001,1> etc. This won't handle every little piece of your surface, but 
the main outer surfaces will end up with the right texture showing through.
