Well actually ..... I have done the specific case of minifig heads in Excel,
but the code is currently a bit too experimental to share. It requires that the
flat image-DAT has already been split at the pseudo cylinder boundaries
X=+/-4.975 and X=+/-9.123. It also only projects four facets from the front,
and two facets from each side, so actually requires three flat image-DAT files.
This avoids loss of detail on the more recent wrap-around faces. It does, in
theory deal with the cylindrical area and the top and bottom pseudo-cones, as
long as the flat image has been constructed correctly - in fact it projects all
the surface now omitted from the 3626bs01 subpart.
