I have some arbitrary collection of Envelopes (or rectangular Polygons) which 
are often clustered together (adjacent to one another).  I need to find some 
way to extract the coarser-grained (larger) rectangles which comprise the 
overall shape.
For example, think of an "L"-shaped polygon, comprised of a number of smaller 
geometries (something like 
http://www.nctm.org/uploadedImages/About_NCTM/President/Problem_to_Ponder/2011_0915_PTP_Figure2.jpg).
  The end result (output) would be N envelopes/polygons that--merged 
together--represent the original geometry.
Step one--merging--is simple (CascadedPolygonUnion).  But how then to split 
them apart?  Maybe the right approach is to avoid merging them at first and try 
instead to build the envelopes serially?
