Given a list of sphere descriptors (radius and coordinates of the
center), I need to calculate the surface area and volume of the "shrink
wrap" which encloses them. The structure is generally a branching one
instead of being compact.

If this poorly described problem sounds even vaguely familiar, I would
appreciate any pointers to the literature.
