Added to more directives to -W (b and B) which results in reporting the extreme longitude and latitude (the bounding box) of the oblique are in geographical lon/lat coordinates.

As an example, consider the polar stereographic windshield area below. The bounding rectangle to this sector is the outer fat rectangle, but what are the minimum and maximum longitude for this rectangle (which is defined in the projected units).

WIth the new option we get

gmt mapproject -R-30/30/30/70 -JS0/90/12c -WB
-R-62.0519979675384/62.0519979675384/24.28467811471676/72.63728988203717

So to ensure that a rectangular lon/lat image or grid will completely fill the polar windshield we need to have longitudes for±62.05 and latitude needs to start at 25.28N and go up to 72.63 since the sliver north of the polar windshield extends further north and to fill the box we need data beyond the initial 70N.

Added to more directives to -W (b and B) which results in reporiting the extreme longitude and latitude (the bounding box) of the oblilque are in geographical lon/lat coordinates.
