John:  Thanks - I figured that one out myself about 5 minutes after I 
sent the message.

I'm currently working on a map plotting module.  I've added the ability 
to plot filled continents on various map projections, using the GSHHS 
coastline polygon dataset 
(http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhs/gshhs.html).  This dataset 
provides polygon segments that define continental outlines.  However, 
before I post it here I'd like to also provide the capability to fill 
the 'wet' areas as well.  In order to do this I need to figure out how 
to fill the area between the polygons.   Looks like this module 
(http://www.dezentral.de/soft/Polygon/index.html) would do the trick, 
but it requires the generaly polygon clipping C library.   Do you have 
any suggestions?

Thanks for you help,

-Jeff
