The code itself is not very good (to be polite). I *guess* it was
removed because of the bad mapping which it produces.

There was a script or external programm on blender.org and the guy
there was really producing better mapping coordinates, maybe we should
incorporate that. It had also some limitations though... 

Maybe there is even a better way to map spherical, there has to,
because 3DSMAX is doing it much better...
