Try this paper:

Drury, H.A., Van Essen, D.C., Anderson, C.H., Lee, C.W., Coogan, T.A., and 
Lewis, J.W. (1996) Computerized mappings of the cerebral cortex: A 
multiresolution flattening method and a surface-based coordinate system. 
Journal of Cognitive Neurosciences 8: 1-28

I'm not sure how this source got here, but it does pretty closely resemble a 
snapshot of that file I had lying around:

http://caret.sourcearchive.com/documentation/5.6.4~dfsg.1-1/BrainModelSurfaceCurvature_8cxx_source.html

This is not a fast-changing part of the source, so it stands a good chance of 
being how caret does it.

Does anyone know how caret source got in sourcearchive.com?  I know our source 
is open, but I don't know who was nice enough to put it there, or how often it 
is updated.
