doesn't this information already exist, in the form of
portals (generated by michael) originating from the
exits of each building?

if we simply want a single space lying inside the
building, we don't need to generate and parse another
file.  the source space A for any "exiting" portal
A->B lies inside the building.  however, it may not
"best represent" the building.  what does this mean,
patrick?  do you want the centroid of the building
shape?
