  Math / macro programming question

For once, I don't want to re-invent the wheel, so :

I'd like to write a macro to replace a difference of boxes (plain 
vanilla box, no transform, not even translate) with a spacially 
equivalent union of boxes.

(1) does it already exist ?

if not

(2) there are many possible solutions, how to find an optimal one ? And 
what would be optimum speed-wise ? (I guess less boxes, size 
irrevelant). I suppose this problem must have been studied already... 
Can anybody give me a link ?


TIA

Philippe
