Karl Wright updated LUCENE-6487:
--------------------------------
    Attachment: LUCENE-6487.patch

Updated patch, which deals properly with some ellipsoid issues around "circles" 
and paths.  So now once again there are no known functional problems and we're 
back to adding tests.

Still need to come up with the "proper" WGS84 ellipsoid; I think we want the 
scaling factors such that if you multiply all points by the mean earth radius 
you get the proper points in meters.

> WGS84 compatibility has been requested for geo3d.  This involves working with 
> an ellipsoid rather than a unit sphere.  The general formula for an ellipsoid 
> is:
> x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 + z^2/c^2 = 1
