[R-sig-Geo] Finding the Circumscribing Circle of a polygon

[JLong]

Hey Mathieu and Greg, 

Great ideas, and thanks for the code Mathieu. 
I can't imagine a polygon shape where the 2nd step would ever by necessary?
Can you elaborate on why that might be. 

FYI, Mathieu I'm attempting to compute the same shape/linearity metric as
you.

Cheers,
Jed
