That would be the "first method" in Mike Williams' tutorial that I 
mentioned ;-)

The difficulty with that method, practically speaking, is that you need 
to figure out beforehand, which negative objects interact with which 
parts of the positive object.  By putting the positive object "inside" a 
blob sphere with holes already in it, in the shape you want, you can 
save some rather daunting calculations.
