/* derivation of the interesting part:
map the sphere onto the plane by stereographic projection;
map the plane onto a half plane by sqrt;
map the half plane back to the sphere by stereographic
projection
n,w are original lat and lon
r is stereographic radius
primes are transformed versions
r = cos(n)/(1+sin(n))
r' = sqrt(r) = cos(n')/(1+sin(n'))
r'^2 = (1-sin(n')^2)/(1+sin(n')^2) = cos(n)/(1+sin(n))
this is a linear equation for sin n', with solution
sin n' = (1+sin(n)-cos(n))/(1+sin(n)+cos(n))
use standard formula: tan x/2 = (1-cos x)/sin x = sin x/(1+cos x)
to show that the right side of the last equation is tan(n/2)
