The mapping onto the outside of a sphere is exactly the same as the mapping to the INSIDE of a sphere. The best suite of tools for performing these kinds of remappings, which are widely used in immersive 3d imaging, is actually free, although the learning curve is alarmingly steep. The suite is called 'panotools' by Helmut Dersch and a Google search will take you there. Unfortunately the site hosting the tools is down for the summer and doesn't reopen until Sept 20th. Nevertheless, try Googling for it and you will find a lot of the pages are cached, with links to plenty of resources which will help you. Much more info and help is available from the panorama mailing list, details below.
