gbox_pt_outside()

int gbox_pt_outside	(	const GBOX *	gbox,
		POINT2D *	pt_outside
	)

Given a unit geocentric gbox, return a lon/lat (degrees) coordinate point point that is guaranteed to be outside the box (and therefore anything it contains).

Calculate a spherical point that falls outside the geocentric gbox.
