Or you could just use the code (with MS Windows test program)
at http://www.magic-software.com/gr_dcmp.htm , section with
files sphrtesl.{h,cpp,pdf} and sptstest.cpp.  The tessellation is
by recursive subdivision.  You start with any inscribed convex
polyhedron.  If you want the 'classic' cases, start with an
octahedron (part of the sptstest program) or an icosahedron.
