While working on VEX parts (I know, boo; hiss, that's not LEGO) 
, I finally had a real-world reason to map spherically.
The HEXBUG folks have a VEX IQ compatible set called Orbit, which is a built-it-yourself Orrery, and it includes three spheres that would need the texture mapping treatment (our Sun, the Earth and its moon).
I have mapped the latter two.
Congratulations, Roland. This was easy for me to get working, and it looks fantastic in LDCad!
[I did a half-mapping of each half-sphere, top and bottom -- was able to use the same image in either case, didn't have to slice or dice that at all]
