I'd like to take a map of a planet and wrap it around a sphere.  I thought
that perhaps the image_map texture was the way to go, but nope - it
doesn't work the way I thought.  (Shoulda read the manual...it works
*exactly* as advertised.)

Any ideas on how to handle such a hack?  The map is in Mercator's
projection.
