Has anyone calculated the Roeck test using PostGIS?  This is an area based 
measure that computes the ratio of the area of a polygon to the area of the 
minimum enclosing circle for the polygon.  It's used to measure compactness of 
districts for redistricting applications, basically a way to test for 
gerrymandering.  Thanks.
